[726] περίδρομος is used here in a slightly different sense from 728, though we can translate both by ‘running round.’ Here it evidently means ‘rotating,’ while in 728 it means ‘surrounding’; 2.812 gives yet a third meaning. Hesych. “περίδρομοι: περιφερεῖς, στρογγύλοι”, no doubt applies to 726, but does not give so good a sense. ἀμφοτέρωθεν, on both sides of the car.
