Your sources pioneered the way.
Me and Giorgos Iliopoulos simply put in the ancient sources adding to Herodotus, Xenophon, Pauasnias, Plutarch along with references form Souda and Hysichios lexikon, The Anthology of Stovaios, Polyaenos and the detailed analysis of Thirlwall. Throw in a list of inscriptions and pottery from obscure little museums (not only in Laconia). Add to the mix Muller Fragmenta Historium Grecorum.
The explanation for the meaning of Lakonia comes from Hoffmann: Etymologisher Worterbuch des Griechishen and G Curtius Homerisher Reallexikon.
We follow the verse related to the SAS:
"we are the pilgrims Master, we shall always go a little further"
Kind regards
