[Illustration: Fig. 14.--South frieze, slab xvii. (44. 45. 45*.)]
[Rightnote: XVIII.]
The original of slab xviii. is at Athens, and was in its present
mutilated condition when drawn by Carrey.
[Rightnote: XIX.]
[Sidenote: 47.]
[Sidenote: 48.]
The cast of the small fragment at the upper left-hand corner of
slab xix., giving the mane of the horse of No. 47, has been added
since the publication of the work of Michaelis. For a fragment
engraved by Michaelis, as the head of No. 48, cf. No. 345, _18_.
[Rightnote: XX.]
Slab xx. (on the pilaster) is a cast from the original at Athens.
This slab, which now only contains parts of the legs of two horses
and a rider (No. 48) was nearly complete in the time of Carrey and
contained two riders wearing petasoi or broad-brimmed travellers'
hats.
[Rightnote: XXI.]
[Sidenote: 51.]
[Sidenote: 52.]
[Sidenote: 53.]
In slab xxi. the head of the horse of No. 51 and the head and
shoulders of No. 52 are supplied by casts from originals at
Athens. The fragment containing the head of No. 53, a figure
wearing a petasos, does not appear in the plate of Michaelis.
[Rightnote: XXII., XXIII]
Slab xxii. and slab xxiii., which, with the exception of a small
fragment, is only preserved in Carrey's drawings, contained
the leading horsemen of the procession. Those on slab xxii. are
evidently pulling up their horses, while the two horsemen on slab
xxiii. are going at a foot-pace. All the paces of the horse
are thus displayed within a short distance, at this part of the
frieze. In slab xxii. a fragment containing a horse's head and the
mane of another horse, which Michaelis assigns to the team on slab
xxiv., has been since adjusted to its place in front of No. 56;
to this has been fitted the small fragment of the corner of slab
xxiii.
