bare-headed. Compare the figures 26—35, and the de-

horsemen, riding 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
group not being carried across the joint. The figures
2.6-37. (Nos. 26-37) on slabs x.-xiii. are evidently arranged in
two ranks of six horsemen each, and are distinguished
from most of the riders in the southern cavalcade by
wearing a cuirass under which is a short chiton. Three
of these figures (Nos. 33, 36, 37) have a cuirass consisting
of a breastplate and backpiece, which are united at the
sides by a strip of flexible scale armour. From the
cuirass hang down the flaps, which protected the loin?.
These cuirasses also have shoulder straps. The riders,
Nos. 26-36, wear the plain cuirass, rigid and close-fitting
(6>i>pa£ oraSios). All the riders in this part of the proces-
sion wear high boots with a flap turning over below the
knee. They are all bare-headed except No. 36, who wears
a cap or helmet with a flap behind; No. 33, who also
wears a cap ; and No. 35, who has a diadem over which
must have been a metallic wreath, as there are four holes
for its attachment on this head. A chlamys hangs from
the left arm of Nos. 26, 27, 28. Slab xiv., which is a cast XIV,-
from the original at Athens, and slab xv. are now XVI.
