Note 39 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.

Τοῦ γένους τῶν κυνῶν τοῦ Κελτικοῦ—the greyhounds of modern days. Coursing having been first practised by the inhabitants of Gallia Celtica, the greyhound was called Minshæi Emendatio in voce Grei-hound.κυὼν Κελτικὸς, canis Gallicus, (quibus Galli maximè utuntur, and not Grei-hound, q. Grecian hound, quòd primùm fuerit in usu inter Græcos). A splendid representation of this most elegant of the canine race is engraven by Pere Montfaucon, Tom. iii. pl. 56. f. 5. from the Arch of Constantine, from whose work it has been again copied on stone to illustrate this treatise. For an account of the Scythian and African horses, see notes on chap. xxiii. and xxiv.
