Translation: [Meaning] those totally deceiving foreigners and lying by dissimulation and acting. [Said of] the Laconians; among whom also existed the law about expulsion of foreigners.[1] That the Laconians were disgracefully-covetous[2] and small-minded is shown by the oracle 'Love of money shall destroy
Sparta, but naught else'.[3] They were also misanthropes regarding foreigners, and it was not permitted to any individual foreigner to set foot in
Sparta all the time, but [only] on specified days.
