In front (of the sacrificial ground) there are those keepers of it ready at hand,--to wit, a hundred royal princes, clad in armour; a hundred warriors armed with swords; a hundred sons of heralds and headmen, bearing quivers filled with arrows; and a hundred sons of attendants and charioteers, bearing staves;--and a hundred exhausted, worn out horses amongst which, having let loose that (sacrificial horse), they guard it.
