Extract

This paper is in continuation of one which appeared in Vol. xviii, of the Journal (1898). It deals with the more interesting of the hitherto unpublished black-figured vases acquired by the British Museum during the last twelve years, to which are added two of later date. I hope in a future paper to publish on similar lines some of the red-figured vases and white lekythi acquired subsequently to the issue of the third volume of the Vase Catalogue in 1896.

9 The absence of ground-ornaments (with this exception) is curious, and taken in conjunction with the appearance of Hermes, seems to suggest a comparatively late date for this example. On the other vases they are almost invariably present.

21 Pausanias (i. 4. 5) places the spring at Aneyra. See Frazer, 's note. Philostratus also alludes twice to the story (Imag. i. 22Google Scholar and Vit. Apoll, vi. 27), placing the scene in Phrygia. Kuhnert suggests that there has been a confusion between Βρύγες (i.e. Macedonians) and Φρύγες

37 The reading is doubtful, but the editors have restored ἱππέων from the analogy of other formulae in this inscription. It is not definitely stated that this torch-race was equestrian, but it is highly probable.

38 A torch-race was instituted at Neapolis by Diotimos about 433 B.C., but it is not stated to have been equestrian (Lycophron, Cass. 732, with Tzetzes' note).
