_B.M. Vases_, 607. Quite different is the type of the long-distance
runner of B. 611 (328 B.C.) and B. 609 (333 B.C.), and of the
Hoplitodromos of B. 608 (336 B.C.). _Vide_ Figs. 51, 58.

Paus. vi. 7, 10 τυρὸν ἐκ τῶν ταλάρων. Diogen. Laert. ἰσχάσι ξηραῖς καὶ
πυροῖς. Philostrat. _Gym._ 43 αἵ τε μᾶζαι καὶ τῶν ἄρτων οἱ ἅπτιστοι
καὶ μὴ ζυμῖται καὶ τῶν κρεῶν τὰ βόειά τε καὶ ταύρεια καὶ τράγεια καὶ
δόρκοι. _Vide_ Jüthner, _Philostratus_, pp. 268 ff., and Krause,
_Gym._ pp. 654 ff.
Footnote 150:
_B.C.H._, 1899, p. 611. I have accepted the rendering of the
inscription given by A. D. Keramopoullos in Ἐφ. Ἀρχ., 1906, p. 167.
Instead of the name Εὐδρόμου, an utterly unknown hero, of whose shrine
not a vestige has been found, he reads δρόμου. He repeats a
misstatement made in Dar.-Sagl., Paully-Wissowa, and other
dictionaries to the effect that athletes were not allowed to drink any
wine. The _only_ authority for the statement is a single passage from
Galen, _de Salub. vict. rat._, in which he says that “after exercise
athletes do not drink wine but water first, having learnt this from
experience!” An egregious example of the absurdities which crowd the
pages of our dictionaries!

Footnote 153:
_Pol._ v. 1339 a. Krause (_Gym._ p. 645, n. 3), and other writers
following him, discredit this statement, not realizing that Aristotle
is speaking of professional athletics. Of the eight examples quoted by
Krause of athletes who had won victories both as boys and as men, five
belong to the sixth or early fifth century, one is later than
Aristotle, one is contemporary with him, the date of the eighth is
doubtful.
