ing; to the right, in which direction both his hands are
extended, as if he was brandishing a weapon.
(D. 8.) Next on the right is a prostrate pirate, on
whose bnttock a bearded Satyr is kneeling with his left
knee, while he ties the pirate's arms behind his back. The
pirate kneels on the rock on both knees, his head turned
towards the spectator. Both these figures are in bad
condition. The next group on the right is composed of a
Satyr who has thrown a pirate backward on the rock and
is about to strike him. The pirate has his left knee bent
under him, and leans back on his right elbow : he advances
his right foot and left arm to defend himself. The Satyr
has his body facing to the front and inclined to the left
with the right leg advanced: his right hand is raised to
the level of his head. The action shews that he is about
to swing his body round to give effect to the blow which
he is aiming at the pirate. On his left arm is the panther's
skin, worn as a shield : his face and left thigh and leg are
injured, but the figure is otherwise in fair condition. The
pirate is beardless, his features are well preserved : his left
arm and left knee are injured, but the figure is otherwise
in good condition.
(D. 9.) In the next group are a Satyr and a transformed
pirate, separated by a tree which marks th«> edge of the rocky
shore, as at the opposite end of the frieze. The Satyr
stoops forward, breaking off with both hands a branch of
the tree, which he is about to use as a weapon against the
pirate who darts head foremost into the water, pressing
his feet against the trunk of the tree : the Satyr seems to
be bearded; his head is in bad condition.
(D. 10.) On the right of the transformed pirate is a
group representing a Satyr about to strike with a branch
of a tree a pirate seated on the ground, whose head he
draws back with his left hand, brandishing in his right
hand the branch held behind his neck: from the left arm
ing; to the right, in which direction both his hands are
