NORTH FRIEZE OF PARTHENON.

as we see from Carrey's drawing, belonged to the chariot
on the slab which follows next on the right (xv. accord-
ing to the order of Michaelis).
Of the fourth chariot group, which was also drawn by XV.
Carrey, we have only the mutilated group to which the
38, 39. charioteer (No. 38) and an apobates (No. 39) belong; this
is made up of four fragments, of which the originals were
found at Athens in 1837. In this group the apobates
(No. 39) stands in the chariot, looking back to the chariot
following so closely that the forelegs of the horses actu-
ally overlap this group. Here also the wheel was in part
completely free from the ground of the relief.
From Carrey's sketch we know that the chariot on slab XVII.
xvii. was drawn by the horses, which occupied slab xvi.,
and whose hoofs are seen on slab xv., and that this was
41. the fifth chariot group. The apobates (No. 41) of this
chariot leans back, supporting himself by the right hand,
which grasped the chariot rail (antyx), and is about to
42. step off the chariot. The marshal (No. 42) steps back
to the left, looking in the contrary direction; his left
arm, muffled in his mantle, is raised as a signal to the
advancing throng ; his right arm is also raised ; the hand,
now wanting, was just above the level of the head. His
animated action forms a strong contrast to the still, calm
attitude of the marshal (No. 43) of the following group.
Slab xvii. is cast from the original, which was drawn
at Athens by Stuart, and, having been buried on the
Acropolis, was re-discovered there in 1833. The right
side of this slab is broken away, but there can be no
doubt that it comes next to slab xviii. A photograph
from the original is reproduced in Baumeister, Denlzmaeler,
p. 1186, fig. 1388.
In slab xviii. have been three figures. The marshal XVIII.
43. (No. 43) stands beside the horses, in a calmer attitude
than is usual in this part of the frieze; of tlie apobates
