For swift charioteers first he set forth fine prizes, a woman to lead away, one skilled in handsome handiwork, and an eared tripod of twenty-two measures [265] for the victor; and for second-place he appointed a six-year-old unbroken mare, pregnant with a mule foal; and for third-place he set forth a cauldron untouched by fire, a fair cauldron that held four measures, white even as the first; and for fourth-place he appointed two talents of gold; [270] and for fifth-place a two-handled urn, not yet touched by fire.
