Very few really from what you have already found.
They were as other Beotians of Doric stock.
Their army was probably recruited based on the 3 Doric tribes pattern as we know from war memorials of other Doric cities.
They elected 5 magistrates and sent to Beotarchs in the Beotian Commonwealth
The cults of Heros including his aspect as a martial deity was dominant followed by the cult of Melena Aphrodite (as a lunar goddess hence the cresent emblem)
The city suffered terribly during the Persian Wars and the Pelopenessian War.
They were ousted by the Thebans and probably exacted terrible revenge assisting Alexander's army sacking Thebes.
Their militia thyreophoroi and peltasts serve with the roman army against Mithradates of Pontos.
Kind regards
