[823]. The purchase of a pick (σκαφεῖον) and rollers (τροχιλείαι) for the palaestra is mentioned in the Delian accounts for 279 B.C., B.C.H., 1890, p. 397, ll. 98, 99; cp. p. [488] note 2, for similar purchases in other years.
[824]. Similarly in Ath. Mitth. v. 232 τὸ πυριατήριον καὶ τὸ κόνισμα; Lebas Waddington, Inscr. As. Min. 1112 λουτρῶνα καί κόνισμα. The open court for exercise was an essential part of every bath. The κόνισμα must not be confused with the konisterion or powdering-room of Vitruvius.
[825]. Plato, Theaet. 146 A, and Schol. on the same. The game of bouncing the ball on the ground was called ἀπόρραξις.
[826]. Char. xxi. αὐλίδιον παλαιστριαῖον κόνιν ἔχον καὶ σφαιριστήριον. This palaestra he lends to philosophers, sophists, fencing-masters (ὁπλόμαχοι) and musicians for their displays, at which he will himself appear on the scene rather late in order that the spectators may say one to another, “This is the owner of the palaestra.”

[830]. For the sake of uniformity I have kept the Greek spelling of the names of different rooms instead of the Latin forms actually used in Vitruvius.
