p. 41 n. 1. A. M. Tallgren, Zt d. Finn. Altertumsges. xxvi, thinks this stopped axe older than those from Hallstatt and all such, even in Britain and the Urals, Mediterranean in origin. p. 44 sqq. That Greeks had met people with Mongolian blood is shewn by the caricatures on Fig. o. The cyrbasiae shew these figures to be Scythians, probably Sacae from the Persian forces quartered in Egypt. No. i has the sloping eyes, No. 2 the high cheek-bones, No. 3 the round face of the Mongol, but their beards shew them no longer as Hippocrates describes them (v. p. 46) but intermixed with other blood yet not more than the Hiung-nu on p. 96 f. 27.

(1904), “Die älteren Beziehungen der Slawen zu Turkotataren und Germanen und ihre sozialgeschichtliche Bedeutung,” pp. 187—360; 465—533: most of his conclusions as to Sc. (pp. 187—240) are much the same as mine, i.e. that the true Sc.

were Turkotartars imposed upon a more or less Aryan population represented by the Georgi, etc. and themselves strongly mixed with Aryans not only thereby but during the men’s domination in Media, which he fully accepts, when they adopted Iranian speech from Median wives. These women as not nomads could not ride but had to be carted and also had different bathing customs from the men. A careful examination of the forms underlying the straight hair in the Greek portraits (l.c. pp. 216—224) shews them not Aryan but just like e.g. Kara-kirgiz. Hippocrates may have seen purer Turkotartars but the Greeks even in Upper Asia mostly came in contact only with a border of half-castes. Vegetarian Sc. in Ephorus ap. Strab. vn. iii. 9 are Aryans raided by Sc., cf. Tadzhiks.

London, 1913) shewed the bulls, etc. to belong to a portable canopy and the cups to exhibit the earliest (b.c. 1400—1000) East-Anatolian or Urartu style preceding ordinary Hittite. A. Μ.

pp. 218, 219. Karagodeuashkh. Rostovtsev, BCA. xi.ix. “ The Idea of Kingly Power in Scythia and on the Bosporus” (- “ Iranism and lonisni,” Hist. Congr. London, 1913), sees on the rhyton, f. 12 1, two horsemen face to face each above a prostrate foe but one holding a sceptre, the other adoring him, i.e. to judge by Sassanian investiture scenes, a mounted form of Mithras conferring divine right on a king: on f. 120 R. sees at the top the king’s or hvareno, then Mithras with a quadriga and below Aphrodite-Argimpasa-Anahita- Astarte (cf. pp. 85, 617—619 and Pl. vm. 12, 14) receiving in communion the sacred rhyton and round-bottomed vase, cf. analogous scenes of communion and unveiling, pp. 1 58, 203 fif. 45, 98. On the Bosporus reiranized by the mid and mrd centuries a.d. this conception of kingship is symbolized by sceptres and crowns, v. p. 434 and f. 325, and on coins like Pl. vm. 10.

p. 232 1. 36. For Parthian read Parthian.

p. 266 1. 15. Add Beak heads are quite Greek, e.g. a girdle-mount from Olbia, Arch. Anz. 1911, p. 223, f. 30; so is a mirror like the Romny one, ib. p. 224, f. 31. Indeed nearly all Sc. motives are finding their source as we learn more of Ionian art with its Minoan survivals.

p. 270 f. 186. This sheath is from Elizavetovskaja, v. p. 567.

p. 271 sqq. Siberian plaques, v. G. Hirth, Formenschatz, 1909, No. 85 (cf. 40); 1910, No. 1. p. 273 n. 3. For f. 333 ready. 507, f. 339.

p. 287 1. 35. Pharmacovskij, “The Gold Mountings of the Bow-cases from the Iljintsy and Chertomlyk Barrows,” Bobrinskoj Alisc. pp. 45—118, sets the whole matter on a fresh footing. The Iljintsy grave had the usual wooden chamber, which collapsed when being plundered: the chief object besides the sheath was a set of horse’s gear like p. 185 f. 78 but ruder in workmanship. He says that the Iljintsy cover was made by preparing first the wooden foundation and carving the design upon it, then beating into the carving a plate of base gold with a pure gold face and finally touching up with a graver, whereas that from Chertomlyk was produced by laying a slightly inferior gold plate over the Iljintsy sheath and beating it into its lines : this is shewn by the traces of the Iljintsy engraving on the wrong side of the Chertomlyk cover and by the design not always having come out on the latter particularly where it is rather weak in the former. The finishing of the Iljintsy cover was the less elaborate (much of it pointille) and pathetic, but the more intelligent. The plate from the butt end of the bow-case was found at Iljintsy (that from Chertomlyk is figured ASH. 11. p. 118): each is rounded below and has a midrib flanked by affronted griffins rampant and acanthus-flowers above; so the thickness of the bow-case, greatest 4 cm. from the bottom, was 6’5 cm. (2’6 in.) as against a breadth of 21—25 cm. (8’25—9’8 in.) and a length of 43 cm. (17 in.). The midrib answers to the division separating the bow (put in string upwards) from the arrows (said to be in bundles point upwards): at Iljintsy there were 142 bronze and 12 bone arrows.

The subject of the reliefs is the whole life of Achilles, not merely his time at Scyros, and so does not go back to one great composition e.g. of Polygnotus, but consists in Hellenistic wise of scenes divided by adjacent figures being set back to back : reckoning from left to right we have, above, 1, 2, Phoenix teaching Achilles to shoot; 3—8 Achilles (6) seizing arms from Odysseus (5), 3 being the Seyran queen with Neoptolemus, 7 a nurse and 8 Deidamia: the next scene is cut in two, 9 is Lycomedes (his right arm is clear upon the Iljintsy sheath) parting with Achilles (10) while the four women to the left below ought to be looking at them ; they are the queen between two daughters and a nurse marked off as a group indoors by dotted curtains; in the following scene we have Agamemnon and Achilles now reconciled by Odysseus and Diomede; Achilles is putting on a greave before going out to avenge Patroclus; the last figure is Thetis bearing away her son’s ashes.

The animals, especially the lank griffins, are in the Hellenistic manner while the orna­ment shews exactly the same elements as the base of a column at Didyma near Miletus (Pontremoli-Haussoullier, Didymes, p. 145): Lesbian cyma, acanthus, twist and palmetto all in a late stage not before the middle of the nnd century b.c. which agrees with the pottery (v. Add. to p. 165). So Pharmacovskij refers the gold work to Miletus in that century and the tombs themselves and with them most of the big Scythic tombs to a slightly later time.

pp. 293—435. /Additions to almost every page of Chapters xi. and xn. might be made from Pharmacovskij, Arch. Anz. 1911, pp. 192—234; 1912, pp. 323—379.
