Λυκοῦργος

Λυκοῦργος Plutarch
6.1 So eager was Lycurgus for the establishment of this form of government, that he obtained an oracle from Delphi about it, which they call a rhetra. And this is the way it runs: When thou hast built a temple to Zeus Syllanius and Athena Syllania, divided the people into phylai and into obai, and established a senate of thirty members, including the archagetai, then from time to time appellazein between Babyca and CnacionProbably names of small tributaries of the river Eurotas. and there introduce and rescind measures; but the people must have the deciding voice and the power.
6.2 In these clauses, the phylai and the obai refer to divisions and distributions of the people into clans and phratries, or brotherhoods; by archagetai the kings are designated, and apellazein means to assemble the people, with a reference to Apollo, the Pythian god, who was the source and author of the polity. The Babyca is now called Cheimarrus, and the Cnacion Oenus; but Aristotle says that Cnacion is a river, and Babyca a bridge.
