Footnote 311:
Paus. v. 21. 13, 14. Cp. _Ol. Ins._ 56, l. 20-30, regulations for the
Augustalia at Naples, which were modelled on those of Olympia.
Athletes were required to give in their names to the Agonothetai
thirty days beforehand; if they failed to give full information, they
incurred a fine; if a competitor arrived late, he had to report the
cause to the Agonothetai, and any one might lodge a protest against
him; if found guilty, he was disqualified from competing.

Footnote 316:
The statement that they quitted Elis a month before the festival is
quite inconsistent with the account given by Pausanias vi. 23, 24, and
with the narrative in Lucian’s _De Morte Peregrini_, ch. 31, 32. The
scene of the earlier chapters is laid in Elis, where the Hellanodicae
are training the athletes. From Elis Lucian goes straight on to the
festival at Olympia. Perhaps the procession from Elis to Olympia took
place on the 10th or 11th of the month.

Footnote 324:
Quoted in Julian, p. 318:
Ἄρχει μὲν Ἀγων, τῶν καλλίστων
Αθλων ταμίας. καιρὸς δε καλεῖ
μηκέτι μέλλειν. ἀλλὰ κλύοντες
τὰν ἁμετέραν κάρυκα βοάν....
Ιτ’ ἐς ἀντίπαλον ἴστασθε κρίσιν
Νίκης δε τέλος Ζηνὶ μελήσει.
A similar proclamation closed the proceedings, _vide_ Lucian,
_Demonax_, 65. Cp. _Clio_, 1904, pp. 141, 142.
