Note 192 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.

William Dansey translation

De Nat. Anim. L. ii. c. ii.

Ælian mentions these horses in his second book of Animal History: ὤκιστοι μέν εἰσιν ἵππων καμάτου δὲ δή τι αἴσθονται οὐδέν· λεπτοὶ δὲ, καὶ οὐκ εὔσαρκοι, ἐπιτήδειοί γε μὴν καὶ φέρειν ὀλιγωρίαν δεσπότου εἰσίν:—and Oppian in his first Cynegetic:

Cyneg. i. v. 289.

Μαύρων δ’ αἰόλα φῦλα πολὺ προφέρουσιν ἁπάντων ἀμφὶ δρόμους ταναούς τε, καὶ ἀμφὶ πόνους ἀλεγεινούς· καὶ Λίβυες μετὰ τοὺς δολιχὸν δρόμον ἐκτελέουσιν.
