[625]. The following are the orders given in the various lists:—
| 1. Simonides | jump, race, diskos, javelin, wrestling. |
| 2. Epigram quoted by Eustathius | jump, diskos, javelin, race, wrestling. |
| 3. Schol. Pind. Isthm. i. 26 | |
| 4. Schol. Soph. El. 631 | |
| 5. Artemidorus, Oneirocrit. i. 55 | race, diskos, jump, javelin, wrestling. |
| 6. Schol. Plato, Amat. 135 E | race, diskos, jump, javelin, wrestling. |
| (reversed) | |
| 7. Phil. Gym. 3 (reversed) | race, jump, javelin, diskos, wrestling. |
| 8. Schol. Aristid. Pan. p. 112 | race, wrestling, diskos, javelin, jump. |
| 9. Epigram Anth. Pal. xi. 84 | wrestling, race, diskos, jump, javelin. |
In 6 and 7 the order of the text is obviously reversed, and I have therefore reversed again. No. 9 is of very little value and may be disregarded.
[626]. Bacch. ix. 30-36; Pind. Nem. v. 72; Isthm. ii. 30. Little value can be attached to these passages or to the vases.
[627]. The system adopted by Böckh, Hermann and Dissen.
[628]. This interpretation is, I am glad to find, adopted by Dr. Jüthner in his recent edition of Philostratus.
