Translation: A Spartan, a lawgiver; born 50 years[1] after the Trojan wars. He was a paternal uncle of King Charilaos of
Sparta, and a brother of Eunomos. And he was in control of the Spartans for 42 years; and when he laid down his laws it was as the guardian of his nephew; and he himself was king for 18 years. After him Nikandros [reigned] for 38 years. He wrote laws.[2]

Notes:
See also, and more fully,
lambda 824. The present material comes from the
scholia to
Plato,
Republic 599D (where L. is mentioned).
[1] 58 in the scholion (and 8 in some of the Suda mss).
[2] That L. was ever (a) king of
Sparta is unlikely.
