This entry exists to make the chronological insecurity visible rather than to place Lycurgus. Any spine page that renders it should show the variants, and the earliest Jerome notice (883) lies outside the archaic band entirely.此条目的用处在于让年代之不确定可见，而非为吕库古定年。渲染此条的时间轴页面应一并显示各家异读；哲罗姆最早一条（前 883 年）已落在古风时段之外。
