In this chapter Aristotle tacitly assumes or perhaps acquiesces in
the popular belief that Lycurgus is the author of all Spartan insti-
tutions. He vas supposed to be the founder of the Spartan
constitution, as Solon of the Athenian, or as King Alfred of the
ancient English laws. The Ephoralty is apparently attributed to
him; yet elsewhere (v. 11. $8 2, 3) Theopompus, a later king of
Sparta, is said to have introduced this new power into the state.
