I wish also to give an account of the compact
						made by Lycurgus between King and state. For this is the only government
						that continues exactly as it was originally established, whereas other
						constitutions will be found to have undergone and still to be undergoing
						modifications. He ordained that the King shall offer all the
						public sacrifices on behalf of the state, in virtue of his divine descent,
						and that, whatever may be the destination to which the state sends out an
						army, he shall be its leader.
