Wow bro my notes domnt even have that much detail im scared of u nowyes the ephorates would wage war on them every year. the ephorates also made a secret-police style squad of eiren men who would 'be dispatched in the countryside at night armed with daggers' according to Plutarch and would kill strong-looking helots who worked in the fields. this was part of a broader mission to quell revolts by a) removing helots who would pose a phsyical threat to Spartans, and b) demoralising them and making them scared, forcing them into submission.
