The fragment (in slab xxxv.) which contains the head XXXVI
85. of No. 85 and of a horse, after having been in the
possession of the Society of Dilettanti, passed from that
body to the Eoyal Academy, by whom it was presented
to the British Museum in 1817.
The fragment (in slab xxxvii.) containing the head of XXXY
89. No. 89 and a horse's head, of which a plaster cast is
adjusted to the marble, is now at Athens.

in a state of preparation, so that this slab prepares a
transition to the west side. In the foreground is a rider
107. (No. 107), standing by his rearing horse, whom he holds by
the rein with his right hand. In the background beyond
106. this group is a mounted figure (No. 106), so entirely
concealed by the rearing horse in the foreground that the
only evidence of his presence is his right hand advanced
just beyond his horse's shoulder point.
109. To the right is a rider (No. 109) standing by his horse,
and in the act of drawing down his chiton under his
110. girdle in front, while a youthful attendant (No. 110)
assists him by pulling it down behind, or perhaps by
tying the lower girdle over which the folds were drawn.
The attendant carries on his shoulder a folded chlamys,
probably that of his master.
