over the whole duration of the war with Philip, including the
current year. While most of the public officials at Athens
were appointed by lot (Khflpw'rol), all the military oflicers were
elected by open voting (see Aristotle's Guest. of Athens 61
? ? 1--5). The ten generals and ten captains (one for each
tribe) commanded the Infantry; the two generals of horse
and the ten captains of horse (one for each tribe) commanded
the Cavalry. In the text the inferior officers in each arm of
the service are mentioned first. This admits of the several
officers, who are ten in number, being enumerated consecutively,
leaving the list to be closed by the two generals of horse.

a joint control in military matters. In the second half of the

These ceremonial processions, which formed an impressive part
of certain important festivals, were of the nature of a public
parade in which the Athenian cavalry were conspicuous. The
finely sculptured forms of the horsemen of Athens may be seen
in the frieze of the Parthenon, which (according to the best
modern authorities) represents the actual celebration of the
Panathcnaic festival, including the grand procession which
formed an im ortunt part of it. The procession of cavalry
was marshalle by one of the two i'1r1rapxoi. Xen. Hipparchi-

'ii'lr'l'rmpxov, the reading of S alone, has been generally preferred to
imrdpxovs 0n the ground that, as these officers had to take rt in the
festal processions, only one of the two could be sent abroa (Sauppe).
But each of the 'hmapxm normally commanded the cavalry of five of the
tribes (Aristotle Coast. of Athens 61 ? 4). Thus the cavalry of Athens was
divided into two corps under two separate commanders, and in battle
one of the two corps would naturally be on each wing (cp. Martin Les
Cav. Ath. p. 381). During any important war, probably both the
commanders were abroad; in ordinary times, perhaps only one was
abroad at a time. It may be suspected that 'hnmpxov is due to the
mistaken supposition that one of the two was sent to Leinnos, whereas
this was really a third ofilcer. If imdpxnu: is accepted, it would prob-
ably require the Article: at plurali Dem. usus esset, articulum addidisset;
