Two questions arise from this: 1. In Herodotus one can read that Lacedaimonians did not help Athenians not because they were forbidden by the law to make a war in the full moon, but because they were binded to wait for it. As far as you know, from which source might the scholiast derive his claim? 2. I was not able to find another source about the repeal of the law. Can you help me?
