HIPPOTOX'OTA (ἱπποτοξότης). A mounted archer (Hirt. B. Afr. 19.); in most cases characteristic of foreign nations, as the Syrians (Caes. B. C. iii. 4.), Persians (Herod. ix. 49.), &c.; but men thus equipped appear to have been used amongst the light horse of the Greeks (Aristoph. Av. 1179.), and of the Romans; at least under the empire, as testified by the annexed figure (Hippotoxota/1.1), which represents a Roman cavalry bowman in the army of Antoninus, from the column of that emperor.
