Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration (and
Photius) s.v., who cites
Dinarchus,
Lycurgus, and (for the information that such an event was found only in
Athens and Boiotia)
Theophrastus on this. See also Kassel-Austin,
PCG II p.34 (s.v.
Alexis).
"Dismounting" meant, in practice, vaulting from one horse to another: see LSJ.
