This contribution deals with the presence in Attica of Spartan nannies, who were highly praised for their qualities and for the method that they practiced. They were either bought or hired. In Life of Lycurgus 16,5, Plutarch states that they were bought, but this seems to contradict what is known of the historical circumstances. We may consider emending the text, depending whether the mistake is a result of corruption in the manuscript tradition or derives from the author himself.
