[10]
When you have passed beyond the stadium, at the point where the umpires sit, is a place set apart for the horse-races, and also the starting-place for the horses. The starting-place is in the shape of the prow of a ship, and its prow is turned towards the course. At the point where the prow adjoins the porch of Agnaptus it broadens and a bronze dolphin on a rod has been made at the very point of the ram.

ὑπερβάλλοντι δὲ ἐκ τοῦ σταδίου, καθότι οἱ
Ἑλλανοδίκαι καθέζονται, κατὰ τοῦτο τὸ χωρίον ἐς τῶν ἵππων ἀνειμένον τοὺς δρόμους καὶ ἡ ἄφεσίς ἐστι τῶν ἵππων. παρέχεται μὲν οὖν σχῆμα ἡ ἄφεσις κατὰ πρῷραν νεώς, τέτραπται δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ ἔμβολον ἐς τὸν δρόμον· καθότι δὲ τῇ Ἀγνάπτου στοᾷ προσεχής ἐστιν ἡ πρῷρα, κατὰ τοῦτο εὐρεῖα γίνεται, δελφὶς δὲ ἐπὶ κανόνος κατὰ ἄκρον μάλιστα τὸ ἔμβολον πεποίηται χαλκοῦς.
