325. 34. The warrior (No. 34) attached to the chariot was com-
plete in the time of Carrey. The upper half was lost
before the time of Stuart, and was only re-discovered in
the latest excavations on the Acropolis in 1889. He is
represented standing on the ground, and looking hack to
the next chariot. His shield is raised as if to stop its
course. The wheel of this chariot, as of some that
succeed it, must have been, in part, wholly detached
from the ground. The foot of the marshal is complete,
but it is easy to trace where the wheel prevented the
convenient working of the ground beneath it. (See
Plate viii., and Stereoscopic, No. 19.)
Of slab xiii., which Carrey places next, nothing has XIII.
been identified with certainty, but Michaelis is probably
right in assigning to this group the fragment of four
horses, of which a cast from the original at Athens is here
inserted (cf. Plate viii., and No. 345, 0). Above the back
of the second horse is the hestor (see below), and also what
appears to be a small piece of the drapery of a marshal.
This, however, cannot be the case if the fragment de-
scribed (No. 345, 9) contains the marshal belonging to this
slab.

the horses, and looks towards the charioteer. The cha-
36. rioteer (No. 36) had reins of bronze, as indicated by two
rivet holes. Like the driver on slab xviii. he wears a
chiton with long close-fitting sleeves. The apobates
37. (No. 37) appears about to step down from the chariot.
The wheel of this chariot as of that on slab xii. must
have stood out entirely free from the ground. When
Carrey drew this slab, the head of the charioteer (No. 36)

only the lower part now remains, were extant. Close
behind the wheel are traces of a horse's forefoot, which,
