All the evidence about Phaÿllus is collected and discussed in _J.H.S._ xxiv. _l.c._ Footnote 541: Fig. 65; cp. _J.H.S._ xxiv. p. 186. Footnote 542: This is clear from the proverb κέκρουκα τὸν βατῆρα. Footnote 543: The bater is perhaps represented on a vase reproduced by Krause, _Gym._ ix. 23, as a small raised platform. We may remark that in this case the jump is a standing one and without halteres. Footnote 544: Pollux, iii. 151. The so-called measuring ropes and compasses have been shown by Jüthner to be merely boxing thongs and amenta. Footnote 545: Ἐφ. Ἀρχ., 1883, 190. Roberts and Gardner, ii. 391, give the inscription Ἁλ(λ)όμενος νίκησεν Ἐπαίνετος οὕνεκα τοῦδε ἁ. Footnote 546: e.g. _supra_, Fig. 22; cp. Jüthner, _Antike Turngeräthe_, pp. 10, 11. Footnote 547: _Gym._ 55. Dr. Jüthner in his _Antike Turngeräthe_, p. 11, identifies them, wrongly as I think, with the two early types. It is hard to see how either of these types could exercise the fingers. Footnote 548: “They lighten the jump, serving as a guide to the hands, and enabling the jumper to land firmly and evenly.” Footnote 549: Caelius Aurelianus, _De morb. acut. et chron._ v. 2, 38. Such sufferers are to be given “wax to mould, or _manipuli_, which athletes call halteres, to hold, and to move, either of wax or of wood, at first with only a little lead, afterwards gradually increased in weight.” Footnote 550: Plutarch, _De musica_, 1140; Paus. v. 17, 10. Footnote 551: For vase paintings representing jumpers in various positions _vide_ _J.H.S._ xxiv. pp. 184 ff. Footnote 552: Inghirami, _Mus. Chius._ cxxv.; Krause, ix. c. 25. Footnote 553: _J.H.S._ xxiv. p. 187. Footnote 554: _J.H.S._ xxvii. p. 260. Footnote 555: _J.H.S._ xxiii. p. 288, Fig. 15. Footnote 556: Mr. George Rowdon, who formerly held the championship for the high jump, once gave me the following description of the method of using weights in the high jump: “The jumper starts about 14 yards from the posts, taking two-thirds of the distance with short, quick steps, scarcely swinging the weights at all, after which he takes one or two comparatively long, slow strides, swinging the bells together twice, and on the second swing taking off from the ground as the bells come to the front.” The weights used are usually 5 lb. dumb-bells or even heavier. The run for the long jump with such weights would be very similar, the chief difference being that while in the high jump the weights are thrown away at the moment of jumping, in the long jump they are retained. Footnote 557: _J.H.S._ xxiv. pp. 193, 194. Footnote 558: _Anth. Pal._ App. 297— πέντ’ ἐπὶ πεντήκοντα πόδας πήδησε Φάϋλλος δίσκευσεν δ’ ἑκατὸν πέντ’ ἀπολειπομένων. The argument in the following passage is stated more fully in _J.H.S._ xxiv. pp. 77 ff., where the reader will find full references. Footnote 559:
