[356] The law quoted in Aischines _ag._ _Timarchos_ is spurious, being a later interpolation; it cannot therefore be used as evidence.

[358] The division of the boys into classes by age in the contests points to such a usage. Cp. the ἡλικίαι [hêlikiai] at Teos.
[359] Later, this was done by a special official, the ἀλειπτής [aleiptês].
[361] _e.g._ Plato, _Gorg._ 504 A; _Protag._ 313 D; Aristot. _Pol._ iii. 16. 8.
[363] The paidotribes is distinguished from the gumnastes as the schoolmaster from the crammer. The gumnastes coached pupils chiefly for the great games, while the paidotribes presided over physical training generally, especially of boys, but sometimes of epheboi. See the elaborate discussion in Grasberger, i. 263-268.

[412] This was often done outside (Plato, _Theait._ 144 C). The oil-room (ἐλαιοθέσιον [elaiothesion]) of Vitruvius may be a later invention. This preliminary anointing was called ξηραλοιφεῖν [xêraloiphein]. After the baths they rubbed themselves with a mixture of oil and water; this was χυτλοῦσθαι [chytlousthai].

[420] Particular Sophists attached themselves to particular gymnasia and palaistrai which they came to regard as their schools. Mikkos has already occupied the newly-built palaistra in the _Lusis_, 204 A. Cp. Plato’s position at the Akademeia and Aristotle’s at the Lukeion.
