Note 122 — ARRIAN ON COURSING.
William Dansey translation
The effect of friction with the hand, or hair-cloth, or flesh-brush, is farther illustrated by Nemesian, on grooming the horse:
Cyneget. v. 294.
Pulvere quinetiam puras secernere fruges Cura sit, atque toros manibus percurrere equorum, Gaudeat ut plausu sonipes, lætumque relaxet Corpus, et altores rapiat per viscera succos. Id curent famuli, comitumque animosa juventus.
