STATUES OF CHARIOTEERS.

bronzes yet recovered in Greece. Its ancient fame is disclosed by the 
fact that it was copied in many monuments down to the end of an- 
tiquity.1 The figure is clothed in a short-sleeved chiton, which reached 
nearly to the ground, and is girded above the waist. 
were found also fragments of reins, 
which were held in the extended 
right hand, portions of three horses, 
a chariot pole, and the left arm and 
hand of a second figure, that of a 
boy or woman, showing that the 
Charioteer was part of a group. 
The group rested on a base on 
which was cut a two-line metrical 
inscription, the ends of which are 
preserved. ‘The first line ends 
TloNvfaddos pw’ avéOnxev. A part of 
the inscription is lost and another 
part, including the above words, is 
written over the erased original, 
which is still partly legible. The 
original inscription gives the name of 
the first dedicator as ending in tas. 
From this ending Professor Wash- 
burn recovers the name ’ApkeciAas. 
He refers the original dedication 
to Arkesilas IV of Kyrene,” and 
identifies it with the group known 
from Pausanias to have been dedi- 
cated at Delphi by the people of 
Kyrene, representing Battos’ and 
the figure of Libya crowning him 
in a chariot and the charioteer per- 
sonified as Kyrene outside, the whole 
being the work of the Knossian 
sculptor Amphion.* Svoronos‘ fol- 
lows Washburn’s suggestion and 
identifies the Charioteer with Bat- 
tos, believing that the fragment of 
the left arm found with the statue
