of tray filed with cakes and other articles. The 
remainder of this part of the frieze represents 
charioteers and horsemen. Among the latter

north side of the temple 5 they ought to have 
been introduced, if the room would have permit¬

slabs represent charioteers, and two of them

Nos. 38**, 38*'^*. Two slabs of the south ffieze.
