The left hand and right forearm, which appear to have been separate pieces, are wanting. The left hand held some attribute, perhaps a branch, for which there is a mark of attachment by the left knee. The right hand, which rested on the stump beside the right leg, seems to have held a strap.--_From the Choiseul-Gouffier Collection, 1818._ Marble; height, 5 feet 10-1/2 inches. Restored: tip of nose. _Specimens_, II., pl. 5; Ellis, _Townley Gallery_, I. p. 194; Clarac, III., pl. 482B, No. 931A; _Mus. Marbles_, XI., pl. 32; _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, I., pl. 4; _Stereoscopic_, No. 143; Murray, I., pl. 8; Wolters, No. 221. This statue, commonly known as the Choiseul-Gouffier Apollo, together with other examples of the same type, has given rise to much discussion. The chief replica is a statue at Athens, commonly called the 'Apollo on the Omphalos,' having been associated with a marble _omphalos_, or sacred cone of Apollo, which was discovered at the same time. Grave doubts, however, exist as to the connection of the figure and of the omphalos. (_Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, I., p. 180; _Athenische Mittheilungen_, IX., p. 248.) The Athenian statue is published, Conze, _Beiträge_, pls. 3, 5; _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, I., pl. 5; Murray, I., pl. 8; Brunn, _Denkmaeler_, No. 42. For a list of other replicas of the type, see _Athenische Mittheilungen_, IX., p. 239. The statue is generally taken to be an Apollo. It has, indeed, been argued that it is a pugilist, and not Apollo (Waldstein, _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, I., p. 182; Overbeck, _Gr. Plast._, 3rd ed., II., p. 414); and if the figure is Apollo, it must be admitted that 'the proportions are rather suited to the patron of pugilism (_Il._ [Greek: psi.] 660) than to the leader of a celestial orchestra' (_Specimens_, II., pl. 5; _Athenische Mittheilungen_, IX., p. 244). But the title is established by a quiver attached to the stump of a replica in Rome (Matz-Duhn, _Bildw. in Rom_, I., No. 179), and of a somewhat similar figure at Cassel (_Athenische Mittheilungen_, I., pl. 10), and by the fact that a copy (No. 210) has been found in the temple of Apollo at Cyrenè. Moreover, the head of a similar figure, undoubtedly an Apollo, occurs on a relief in the Capitoline Museum (Braun, _Vorschule der Kunstmythologie_, pl. 5). Compare also the figure of Apollo on a vase at Bologna, _Mon. dell' Inst._, X., pl. 54. There has also been much discussion as to the school of art to which the type must be assigned, and as to the character of the original statue. The statue has been assigned by different writers to Calamis ("Apollo Alexikakos"; Conze, _Beiträge_, p. 19; Murray, I., p. 189; Furtwaengler, in Roscher's _Lexicon_, I., p. 456); to Pasiteles (Kekulé, _Menelaos_, p. 30); to Alcamenes (Furtwaengler, _Athenische Mittheilungen_, V., p. 39; _cf. Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, VIII., p. 41); to Pythagoras of Rhegium ("Euthymos";
