'■ Xenoph. Cyrop, Op, p, 10.
Digitized by Google CHAP. I. SATRAPIES. UPPER ASIA. 168 The others who bear short staves, I conceive to be the Melophori, a chosen body of the hand- somest and most distinguished of the king's body-guard, who were in immediate attendance on his person, and carried, instead of a lance, a stave with a golden head, shaped like an applet The circiunstance that most of these figures are armed, has given rise to the idea that they represent the body-...guard, which is contradicted by the diversity of their dresses, and the natural irregularity of their attitudes. We shall also find that the body-guard were represented in another place. It was customary among the Persians to appear armed in the king^s pre- sence*; as in oto* courts it is necessary to wear a sword. Nor are these figures completely armed, their only weapons being a dagger, (which in the east is rarely laid aside, and being often studded with precious stones, forms a principal ornament), or a bow, enveloped in a sheath, in the same manner that Europeans wear their swords in a scabbard.
