FUNA´LIS EQUUS[CURRUSp. 579 b. ]

(παράσειρος, σειράφορος). An outrigger to a chariot drawn by horses abreast of each other (Theb. vi. 462). When the chariot had four horses attached, two outriggers were added, one on each side of the yoke-horses (iugales), and called respectively dexter and sinister (Suet. Tib. 6). The name funarius is also used. See Isidor. Orig. xviii. 35.
