[355] Cf. scholia to Aeschylus’ Eumenides, vs. 64, Aristophanes’ Acharnians, vs. 408 and Clouds, vs. 184, and Clemens Alexandrinus, p. 11 (Potter).
[356] Fig. 74 is specially drawn, but owes several features to Figs. 93 f. in Dörpfeld-Reisch, Das griechische Theater. Since Exon’s discussion and drawing of the eccyclema presuppose a theater with a stage, it has been necessary to modify his conception so as to bring it into conformity with the Dörpfeld theory.
[357] See [p. 244, n. 1], above.
[358] Cf. scholia to Aristophanes’ Acharnians, vs. 408 and Women at the Thesmophoria, vs. 284; Pollux iv. 128, and Eustathius, p. 976, 15.
[359] The exostra (ἐξ, “out” + ὠθεῖν, to “push”) seems to have performed about the same function as the eccyclema; cf. Pollux iv. 129; perhaps it was only the more specific name for this later type.
[360] On the basis of ἀναβάδην in vs. 399, for which the scholiasts preserve two interpretations, some writers would have us believe that Euripides was shown in the second story. Tracks for the wheels of an eccyclema have been reported on the logium level of the theater at Eretria (see [p. 107], above).
