You can always dismount the porpax, from what I remember, it was possible. While I am unsure about the mounting mechanism, Lakonians used to dismount the porpax from their shields and lock it inside their personal chests during the night when they slept - as a preventive measure. This way their slaves would not be able to take them and use them against their masters. An Aspis without a porpax is not very usable in combat.
