Note 102 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.
William Dansey translation
Ὑποκατακλίνονται, μὴ ὑπὸ δέους, ἀλλὰ φιλοφρονούμεναι, &c.
Paradise Lost. B. viii. 351.
Cowering low With blandishment.
The greyhound’s posture is peculiarly graceful, when fondly crouching before his master or keeper; and may be well likened to the ταπεινότης (Arr. Exped. Alex. L. iv. c. xi.) of the Persian, performing his salaam to the King of kings.
