On the Art of Horsemanship

For the fore-arm it seems to us that the piece put over it separately like a greave is better than one that is bound up together with a piece of armour.[*](i.e., with the breastplate. Schneider thought that τῷ should be inserted before ὅπλῳ) The part that is left exposed when the right arm is raised should be covered near the breastplate with calf-skin or metal; otherwise the most vital part will be unprotected.
