^{page 169 note 1} M. Chesnay, who is an accomplished draughtsman, but had then had little experience in vase-copying, was attracted by the noble lines of the original, and determined to reproduce them, more for his own pleasure than for archaeological purposes. Naturally in certain details the result falls short of the rigid accuracy which archaeologists expect. Nevertheless it has seemed better to make use of a copy which preserves so much of the spirit and style of a master-piece, than to wait for the doubtful chance of securing an absolute facsimile. Although I have not had an opportunity of examining the vase since the drawing was made, it has been possible to test its accuracy and have certain corrections made by Mr. F. Anderson with the help of three photographs which I took earlier in the same summer. Copies of these photographs, which are in size two-thirds (linear) of the original, are obtainable through the Hellenic Society.

He is a regular attendant at the English church at Freetown, and every Sunday, accompanied by his umbrella-bearer and his stool-bearer, may be seen walking through the streets to the Cathedral. On most occasions his wives and attendants accompany him. The stool and umbrella are always included in the procession.’—Scotsman, June 9 1897.

The assumption that the diphrophoroi were aliens rests on analogy, not on direct evidence. We learn from other sources that aliens performed the σκιαδηφορία, σκαφηφορία and ὐδριαφορία Furtwängler even doubts whether the diphrophoroi were attendants of the kane-phoroi: ‘Die Scholien schliessen fälschlich dass sie hinter den Kanephoren folgten; dies ist (durch Aristophanes) nur für die Schirmträgerinnen bezeugt,’ Meisterwerke, p. 186. He is referring to Aves, 1549 ff. But the passage in the Ecclesiazusac implies that the diphrophoros walked behind the kanephoros, and it is certainly significant that they are mentioned together in two other passages.

^{page 179 note 1} Another link is furnished by a lekythos at Cassel, (Arch. Anzeiger, 1898, p. 192Google Scholar, No. 9) inscribed seated woman holding toilet-vase, and youth wrapped in mantle, a group much like those enumerated above, but connected by the inscription with the four vases of the white-flesh series which mention Diphilos son of Melanopos. An inscription found at Olympia, (Die Inschriften, 30Google Scholar, cf. 797) supplies a fresh indication that the youths thus honoured by the potters were persons of good standing. It is a decree of Elis conferring proxenia on a Diphilos son of Melanopos of Athens, and cannot be dated precisely, but the editors incline to accept the identification with the D. son of M. named on the vases, and perhaps also with the D. who commanded a fleet in 414 (Thuc. vii. 34) and with the M. whose son Laches held a command in 427 (Thuc. iii. 86).
