327. man (No. 2) advances at a walk, thus conforming to the
rule that the movement is always gentle at an angle of
the frieze. The horsemen of this slab all wear chiton,
chlamys, boots, and a leather cap with a flap (katablema)
hanging over the nape of the neck.
Slab ii. is cast from the original on the Parthenon, II.
5-7. which is in a very mutilated condition (cf. No. 345, 16).
Of No. 7 nothing now remains on this slab, but a bit of
his drapery, and on slab iii. his right foot and his horse's III.
nose and forelegs. Slab iii. was complete on the left edge
in the time of Stuart, who gives the head and forehand of
8-9. the horse of No. 7. The horseman (No. 8) wears a chlamys
only, which is cast back so as to show the entire right
side of the body. This is the only figure on the south
frieze who is so little clad.
10-12. On slab iv., the greater part of which still remains on IV.
the Parthenon, are the remains of three figures (Nos. 10,
11, 12). On the right side are two fragments of this
slab, brought away by Lord Elgin, one of which only is
given by Michaelis. The other has been since discovered
in the magazines of the Museum.
[At this point it has been necessary to interrupt the
sequence by placing slabs xiv., xv., xx. on the sides of
the pilaster. These slabs are described below in their
respective places.]
12-14. On slab v., No. 13 wears a close-fitting cuirass, but is bare- y\
headed. Compare the figures 26-35, and the description of
Theagenes in the passage of Heliodorus, quoted on p.148.
15-25. Slabs vi.-ix. contain unarmed Athenian horsemen, riding VI.—IX.
bare-headed and for the most part wearing chiton with
double girdle and boots only. The head of the rider,
No. 15, is unfinished. The horses at this part of the
frieze have manes with a large forelock turned upwards.
There is a break in the composition at the beginning X.-XI1I.
of slab x., and a change of subject is marked by the
