327. small object shaped like a clarionet, but be appears to
73- have mistaken the right arm of No. 73 hanging down for
this object. Next to these supposed Thallophori Carrey-
inserts four figures, three of whom hold in their left hands
some object like a square tablet, which may be the bottom
of a lyre, as this is the place in the procession where the
musicians might be expected, if the arrangement on this
side corresponded with that on the north side; one of the
79.* three is No. 78. The fragment (No. 79*) representing the
upper part of a Scaphephoros carrying a tray must also
belong to this part of the frieze, and is therefore here
inserted. It is cast from the original at Athens, which
was not known to Michaelis. It probably implies that
one slab was wanting here, as well as the second half of
slab xxxvii., of which Carrey seems to have only drawn
the first half.
The remainder of the south frieze is occupied with XXXVII)
the procession of victims for the sacrifice. Cows only -XLV.
are represented, and, as has been observed, this may
indicate that we have here the native Athenian part
of the procession. The order in which these slabs are
exhibited differs from that given by Michaelis in Der
Parthenon, pi. 11, because slab xliii., No. 84 ( = Michaelis,
No. 126; ef. 345, 22), which is the top left corner of a
slab, has been proved to join to the right side of xli.
Other changes have also been made, but the slab numbers
of Michaelis have been preserved for convenience of
reference, and the order now stands—xli., joined by xliii.,
No. 84 ( = Michaelis, No. 126); xxxix., which may join
xliii.; xl., which joins xxxix.; xlii. which seems to follow
xl., though the state of the relief on the right of xl.
prevents certainty; xxxviii. which may follow xlii.;
xliii., Nos. 100, 101 ( = Michaelis, 127, 128), and xliv.,
the corner slab, of which xliii. may be a part. The
present arrangement coincides with that proposed by
