On p. 183, fig. 186, he gives illustrations of the three principal copies—the marble one in the British Museum (a), the bronze statuette in Baron Rothschild’s collection in Paris (b), and the Capitoline bronze in Rome (c). He brings it into relation with the sculptor Boëthos, who is known to have made seated _genre_ figures of boys, _e. g._, one in the Heraion at Olympia, P., V., 17. 4 (= S. Q., 1596). [1460] Von Mach, no. 86; _cf._ Kekulé, _A. Z._, XLI, 1883, p. 244, and F. W., 215. [1461] See _B. M. Sculpt._, III, pp. 109-110. [1462] See K.

[1466] See Lange, _Das Motif des aufgestuetzten Fusses_, 1879, pp. 9 f.; Reisch, p. 46, n. 5; B. B., no. 67 (Paris copy); von Mach, 238a (Munich copy), 238b (Louvre copy). See _supra_, pp. 86-87. [1467] See E. N. Gardiner, _J. H. S._, XXIII, 1903, p. 281; on the race, see Gardiner, pp. 285-91, and _J. H. S._, _l. c._, pp. 280 f.; Krause, I, pp. 353-359; Dar.-Sagl., I, Pt. 2, p. 1644; etc. [1468] At Olympia, P., III, 14.3; Plut., _Quaest. conviv._, II, 5; Artemidoros, _Oneirokritika_, I, 63; Heliod., _Aethiop._, IV., _init._; _Oxy. Pap._; at Delphi, Krause, _Die Pythien, Nemeen, und Isthmien_, 1841, p. 26, no. 4; at the _Panathenaia_, Mommsen, _Feste d. Stadt Athen_, 1898, p. 70. On its origin, see Ph., 7. [1469] P., II, 11.8; X, 34.5. In the first passage Pausanias speaks of a victor who won the _diaulos_ twice—once γυμνός, the second time σὺν τῇ ἀσπίδι. De Ridder, _B. C. H._, XXI, 1897, pp. 211 f., discusses Hauser’s futile argument (_Jb._, II, 1887, pp. 95 f.) that the hoplite-runner covered the stadion four times, the first and fourth with helmet and shield, the second and third without the shield, and conclusively shows that the race was a _diaulos_. For Athens, see Aristoph., _Aves_, 291 f., and scholion. The race was four stades long at Nemea: _cf._ Ph., 7, and Juethner’s note (p. 196). [1470] Ph., 8; _cf._ also 24. [1471] VI, 10.4. In V, 12.8 he says that 25 shields for this race were officially kept in the nave of the temple of Zeus. [1472] We see shield, helmet, and greaves on the vase pictured in Dar.-Sagl., I, 2, p. 1644, fig. 2231; Baum., III, p. 2110, fig. 2360; on the b.-f. vases in Gerhard, IV, Pls. CCLVII, CCLVIII, and CCLXIII; on the b.-f. vases pictured in Schreiber, _Bilderatlas_, Pl. XXII, figs. 3 (sixth century B. C., = Gerhard, IV, Pl. CCLVIII) and 5 (= amphora in the British Museum: _B. M. Vases_, II, B 608); we see no greaves on the r.-f. kylix in Berlin (Fig. 41); _cf._ Krause, pp. 354 f. [1473] _Jb._, II, 1887, pp. 95 f.; X, 1895, pp. 199 f. [1474] P., VI, 10.4. [1475] P., X, 34.5. Mnesiboulos won stade- and hoplite-races at Olympia in Ol. 235 (= 161 A. D.): Afr.; Foerster, 712-713; _cf._ Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 582. He was also περιοδονίκης in both events. [1476] _E. g._, by Ph., 7. [1477] A bronze helmet found at Olympia, recently in the possession of the Bishop of Lincoln, is pictured in _J. H. S._, II, 1881, Pl. XI, 1. [1478] _E. g._, on the vase in Dar.-Sagl., I, 2, p. 1644, fig. 2231; on the Panathenaic vase in the British Museum, already mentioned, dating from the second half of the fourth century B. C.: _B. M.
