Note 173 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.
William Dansey translation
The example of the Celtic nobility of Arrian’s days was followed by those of a later date. Bruyerinus relates (de Re Cib. c. 24.) “Gallia omnis leporibus scatet, ideoque horum venatio peculiaris est mediocri nobilitati et primariæ non invisa.” And Baptista Guarinus notes of the Veronese territory, that it abounds with hares, and affords opportunities for long courses:
Namque hic si studeas lepores agitare fugaces, Cursibus effusis æquora longa patent.
