To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The family of Eurysthenes bears the name of the Alicia-, that of Procles the name of the Eurypontidse, from which it is clear that the twin brothers are only placed as ancestors at the head of the Agidae and Eurypontidae. Besides, the legend allows that Eurysthenes was the more honoured. 1 This implies that the Agidae were an older house, and the Eurypontidae a younger. And when it relates that the twins were at strife all their lives, and that their descendants remained hostile to each other (...p. 33S), the true state of the case, viz. That there was a struggle between two houses for the supremacy, appears to be clearly indicated. It seems already to have struck Ephorus as strange that the two royal houses in Sparta should not have been called after Eurysthenes and Procles. He explains it in the following manner : — Although Eurysthenes and Procles had been the founders of the state, the honour had not been accorded to them which was usually given to founders of commonwealths, nor were they called chief leaders (apXTjyerai), nor were their descendants named after them.
