Leobotes

(Λεωβώτης or Λεωβότης), the Ionic form of LABOTAS (Λαβώτας).

1. King of Sparta. [Labotas.]

2. A Spartan harmost at the unfortunate colony of Heracleia, was slain in battle by the Oetaeans, together with 700 of the settlers, through the treachery of his Achaean allies, B. C. 409. (Xen. Hell. 1.2.18; Thirlwall's Greece, vol. iv. p. 95, note 1.) He is perhaps the same who is called Labotus in Plutarch. (Apoph. Lac. p. 140, ed. Tauchn.) [E.E]
