CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

404.7. Torso of a warrior armed with, a large shield, who
moves to the left front. The head, now wanting, was
probably turned to the group next on the right, which
consists of two male figures. The one on the left is
evidently a victor holding a prisoner, who has his hands
tied behind his back. The victor wears a chiton hetcro-
masclialos, while the prisoner wears a chlamys.

Between this group and the next figure is a space,
in which should be a male figure standing, turned a little
to the right, and wearing a chlamys. He appears to be
giving an order to the figure on the right.

Length, 3 feet 8 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX., pi. 17. For missing
figure, see Stuart, III., ch. I., pi. 20 ; Overbeek, Gr. Plast.,
3rd ed. I., p. 348.

8. Male figure turned to the left, and bending forward.
Both arms have been extended in front of the body.
The figure wears a helmet and a chiton girt at the waist.
The left foot, which is advanced, rested on a higher level
than the right foot. There is some uncertainty as to the
motivo of this figure. Stuart restores it as engaged in
the erection of a trophy, and this is accepted by Schultz,
T)e Tltcseo, p. 2G ; cf. Overbeek, Gr. Plast., 3rd ed., I., p. 353.
For this however there is very little room. Leake sug-
gested that the figure was engaged adjusting his greave
(Tojwgr. of Athens, 2nd ed., p. 511).

Length, 1 foot 6 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX., pi. 17.

Architectural Fragments.

405. Tart of the ceiling, lacunaria, of the Theseion with six
squares for soffits cut through the marble. See fig. 17.
