THE PANATHENAIC FRIEZE,
The slab No. 54 presents the figure of a horseman
curbing his steed, who wears the Thessalian hat. Dr.
Clarke says, " that this kind of hat was considered a
mark of distinction seems to be probable, from the
circumstance of its being still worn by the patriarchs
of the Greek church *."
* Travels, 8vo. edit. 1818, vol. vi. p. 237. Col. Leake quotes
a passage in Philostratus, from which he thinks it probable that
the Athenians called this an Arcadian hat: ssri/rrv o'tlg&rSn; 'Ag-
Philoslr. in Herod. Leake, Topogr. of Athens, p. 223.
