Unanswered Questions (2)

Can anyone tell me why the term used historically is Lacedaemon[ian], now completely phased out and replaced with Sparta[n]? Why is that? (I have my own hypothesis and it is not complimentary to modernity). For instance, I recently listened to Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and caught him using Lacedaemonian - it seems more accurate.

How do the citations work in this book? Above each page there's a number in this format: -1] I thought the numbers referred to paragraphs, but that doesn't work. I'm really confused. Please help, I need it for exams! :)
