ἐπειδὰν δὲ ἀνακουφίσῃ ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν ἀνάβασιν, τῇ μὲν ἀριστερᾷ ἀνιμάτω τὸ σῶμα, τὴν δὲ δεξιὰν ἐκτείνων συνεπαιρέτω ἑαυτόν (οὕτω γὰρ ἀναβαίνων οὐδὲ ὄπισθεν αἰσχρὰν θέαν παρέξει συγκεκαμμένῳ τῷ σκέλει), καὶ μηδὲ τὸ γόνυ ἐπὶ τὴν ῥάχιν τοῦ τιθέτω ἵππου, ἀλλʼ ὑπερβησάτω ἐπὶ τὰς δεξιὰς πλευρὰς τὴν κνήμην. ὅταν δὲ περιενέγκῃ τὸν πόδα, τότε καὶ τὼ γλουτὼ καθέτω ἐπὶ τὸν ἵππον.
