326. 12. No. 12 is on foot, and stoops forward, looking towards
the procession advancing from the right. His left foot
is raised on a rock, and he appears from the action of
his arms to he tying his hoot.
13,14. The next slab contains-two mounted figures (Nos. 13, VII.
14). No. 14 wears a mantle of skin. He is the only figure,
15. on this side of the frieze, thus decorated. No. 15 stands at VIII.
the side of a rearing horse, trying to control him. The
violence of the action is shown by the muscular strain
arid the disordered dress of this figure, who wears a
chiton, exomis, over which is a chlamys flying behind his
hack. On his head is a leathern cap. The attire of this
figure is precisely similar to that of No. 8 and No. 19.

rapidly to the left. One of these (No. 17) wears the
petasos, a flapping, broad-brimmed hat used by travellers.
From No. 22 onward to the south-west angle, none of the
figures are mounted. The first group (Nos. 22-24) is XII.
not unlike that already described (Nos. 4-6). A youth
22. (No. 22) stands at the horse's head, and seems to be holding
the reins. At the side of the horse stands a taller figure
(No. 23), holding up his right hand as if giving an order
to a person at some little distance. In his left hand he
holds a short wand. This figure seems to be a marshal,
though his dress, a chiton girt at the waist and a chlamys,
differs from that of all the other marshals on the frieze,
while it frequently occurs among the riders. Behind the
24. horse is a youth (No. 24) who, from his stature and
attitude, is a groom or attendant; a thick garment is cast
over his shoulders. Next is a much mutilated figure
25. (No. 25), who seems to be pressing his right foot against XIII.

himself so as to lower his back for mounting. Behind
this figure a horse springs forward, free from the control
26. of his rider (No. 26), who has let him go in order to assist XIV.
