BIDET, a nag or little horse formerly allowed to each trooper and dragoon for carrying his baggage.

BIDIEI (βιδαια, βιδαι, βιδαι), magistrates at Sparta who inspected the gymnastic exercises. They were either five or six in number, and, as Böckh has shown, were distinct from the Nomophylaces, who appear to have exercised a higher authority in the state.
