χρυσαρμάτου Κάστορος: The Dioskuroi, whose worship was brought from Thera to Kyrene, had a temple on the famous ἱππόκροτος σκυρωτὰ ὁδός (v. 92). Castor gaudet equis, but the Dioskuroi were, and, in a sense, are still, sailor gods. The wealth of Kyrene was due to its commerce in silphium, its fame to its chariots (P. 4.18; 9, 4), and Kastor represents both commerce and chariots. This sailor element suggests the next figure.
