Note 520 — Chapter XIII · THE FOOT-RACE
Reading edition
J.H.S. l.c. pp. 282-284. The argument which I drew from the use of the epithet ποικίλοι in the passage of Philostratus must be abandoned. Dr. Jüthner’s recent edition of the Gymnastik proves that there is no authority for this reading; he himself suggests πάλαιοι. The general conclusions drawn in my article are not really affected by the change.
