head is a diadem; and No. 35, who has the same diadem
over which must have heeii a metallic wreath, as there are
four holes for its attachment on the crown of the head. A
chlamys hangs from the left arm of Nos. 26, 27, 28. The
figures next following (Nos. 14—25) are not armed with the
cuirass but wear a chiton or in some cases perhaps a chlamys.
The horses have manes with a large forelock turned up-
wards. No. 16 wears a chiton with a double girdle and short
sleeves. No. 21 appears to wear a chlamys. No. 13 is
armed with a close fitting cuirass. He is looking back at
his comrades who are following.
On the next slab (iv.), the greater part of which
still remains on the Parthenon, are the remains of
two figures (Nos. 10, 11). On the right side are two
fragments of this slab brought away by Lord Elgin,
one of which only is given by Michaelis. The other
has been since discovered in the magazines of the Museum.
On slab iii. is a horseman (No. 8) whose chlamys is
cast back so as to show the entire right side of the body.
This is the only figure in the South frieze who is so
little clad. His petasos hangs at his back. The next
slab (ii.) is cast from the original on the Parthenon. Of
No. 7 nothing now remains on this slab but a bit of his
drapery, and on slab iii. his right foot and his horse's nose
and forelegs. On the left edge of slab iii. Stuart's Plate
gives the head and forehand of his horse. Of No. 6 nothing
remains but the outline of the rider, his left hand, two
small bits of his drapery and the edge of his horse's mane.
The next figure, No. 5, whose horse is rearing, is a little
better preserved. The next slab (i.) is still on the Par-
thenon except the right side containing the figure 4 which
was presented to the Museum by the late Mr. C. E. Cockerell.
This horseman is a little in advance of his two comrades
Nos. 2—3, who are moving forward at a walk from the
South-west angle, where a marshal (No. 1) stands looking
