[and even] when, towards the close of day, nobly-bred, swift-footed steeds were brought before him,

Behold, there were brought before him, at eventide coursers of the highest breeding, and swift of foot;

When there were shown to him at eventide lightfooted coursers

When well-bred, swift (horses) were brought to him at evening --

[Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.
