Note 137 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.
William Dansey translation
Ἀποκναίονται, (radendo vulnerare ἀποκναίειν,)—a preferable reading to the conjectural one of Schneider, ἀποκαίονται—founded on Xenoph. de Venat. c. viii. 2. a passage scarce applicable to the Celtic hound. No wise Veltrarius would think of coursing his greyhounds during severe frost.
Savary Album Dianæ, &c. L. iii. p. 33.
Cum fluidos gelidâ sisti torpedine rivos Videris, extantesque pedi non cedere glebas, Ne campis immitte canes: nam nulla laborum Præmia; et avulsos vanis conatibus ungues Sæpè diù, melior pars turmæ clauda, dolebit.
