or hunting, as shown in Plate XIII. But the caps worn by the Magus and 
the king are tall, the former only differing from the royal cap in the upper 
part being pressed downwards and backwards. The Satrap head-dress with 
its side lappets is fully displayed on the beautiful coin of Pharnahazus pub¬ 
lished by the Due de Luynes. # 
The outer dress consisted of a sleeved tunic, a pair of light fitting 
trowsers, and boots. 
The tunic worn by all classes of Persians was a sleeved coat called 
Kanclus or Kandulce , a name which appears to contain the Persian word 
Kum, or Kam , “ a sleeve.” It was also called Sardpis, which may 
perhaps be only the Persian word Sarapd “ from head to foot,” and 
if so, this term would rather apply to the Median robe, which reached 
down to the ground, than to the later Persian tunic. According 
to some the sardpis was a striped tunic of crimson and white, purpurece 
tunic ce medium album intextumf But judging from the coloured dress of 
Darius in the Pompeian Mosaic, and from the dress of the golden statuette 
horseman in Lord Lytton’s possession, the main part of the tunic was of 
scarlet, with a broad band of white down the front, and narrow bands along 
the edges of the sleeves and of the skirts. 
The Persian trowsers were of two kinds, “ loose” and “ tight.” The 
former were called sarabdra or saraballa , a name which is still in use as 
sarawil and sarawdl for the very same garment. The light trowsers were 
called anaxurides, in the plural. Xenophon calls them TvoiAXai dva&pvSe s 
which may mean either “ embroidered” or “ parti-coloured.” The tight- 
fitting trowsers or anaxurides are worn by Darius and most of the Persian 
chiefs, in the famous Pompeian mosaic representing the battle of Issus. 
They are also worn by the horseman in Plate XIII and by the seated 
Satrap Datames or Tiridames on the coin No. 5 of Plate XVII. I can find 
nothing about either their material or their colour, as I have not access to 
any coloured copy of the Pompeian mosaic. 
The boots were of soft leather, and sometimes ended in long points, as 
seen in the gold statuette of Plate XII. But these long points were most 
probably confined to riding boots, as the king in Plate XI has square-toed 
boots, much like those of the present day, excepting only that they are 
highly ornamented. 
Magus or Priest. 
In Plate XIV we have a representation of the Magus or Priest as he 
stood in front of the fire altar for daily worship. The most minute account
