Note 325, 50 — PART II. (continued 2)
Reading edition
XIX. The next slab (xix.) is a cast from the original at Athens, which is broken away on the right, so that all that remains of the charioteer (No. 47) is his right hand. At the side of the horses is a marshal (No. 46), who turns towards the chariot following on the right. Carrey's drawing supplies the upper part of this figure, and shows that he was holding up with his left hand the end of his mantle, apparently as a signal to the advancing procession. In fig. 12, slab xix. has been drawn in juxtaposition with the hitherto unplaced fragment No. 345, 12. This slab was discovered in 1834.
XX.Slab xx. is now lost, but a horse's head now at Athens (No. 345, 13; Michaelis, pl. 12, xx.) may perhaps belong to it.
XXI.Slab xxi. contains the bodies and hind quarters of the horses drawing the chariot seen on slab xxii. Between the charioteer (No. 48) and his horse is a fragment, showing the front of the chariot, and the tails of the horses, of which the original is at Athens, and which is not figured in Michaelis.
48, 49. XXII. On the left of slab xxii. is a chariot with the charioteer (No. 48) and apobates (No. 49) who is stepping into the chariot. On the right of this slab is an attendant (No. 50) (50.)standing at the heads of the horses of the last chariot group. The lower fragments of this slab are at Athens. The left-hand upper corner, which was wanting in the time of Stuart, was brought home by Lord Elgin. The upper fragment next to it, was once in the possession of the Society of Dilettanti, and was presented by that body. It had probably been brought from Athens by Chandler.
