Résumé
Dicaearchus and his readers. The scholion on Plato Laws (I. 633a) analyses the Lakedaimonian syssitia. It offers information comparable to that of Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, 12. Moreover the source of the scholion – probably a commentary by Proclus on Plato’s Laws – does not take the information from Plutarch. It is quite possible that Proclus and Plutarch take the description of the contributions of food to the syssitia, and also of the admission procedures, from Dicaearchus, more precisely from his Tripoliticus. In that work, as can be deduced from a citation by Athenaeus of Naucratis, on the shared meals of the Lacedaimonians, Dicaearchus, in fact, supplied official information taken from Spartan archives.
