horse compared to the man (p. 98), his forelock 

 (p. 32), and hogged mane (p. 91 ff.). I have 

 already remarked on the extremely large branches 

 of the bit (p. 148). The rider (a Macedonian 

 of course) wears the short cloak adopted by the 

 Athenian cavalry (p. 163), and the hat called 

 caicsia, differing somewhat from the Athenian 

 petasus (see p. 163). He carries two spears 

 (p. 162). 



Page 27. Painting on a black- figured vase in 

 the British Museum, from Gerhard's " Auserlesene 

 Vasenbilder," iv, 247. This is a Panathenaic 

 vase, intended as a prize for the winner at the 

 Panathenaic festival, probably at some time in the 

 fourth century. This side of the vase shows 

 the kind of contest for which the prize was given ; 

 on the other is the conventional figure of Athene. 

 The rider in this case is not the owner, but a 

 jockey. The owner's name is proclaimed by the 

 man walking ahead, in the words AYNEIKETY : 

 HIIIOS : NIKAI, that is, " the horse of Dysnicetus 

 is the winner." Behind walks a man carrying the 

 prize, a tripod, on his head. In his left hand he 

 holds a chaplet of victory ; this, to my regret, is 

 not shown in the present reproduction.
