Note 395 — CANES VENATICI. Class II.
William Dansey translation
It is my opinion that these veloces were greyhounds,—which having been exported from Gaul, their native soil, into Britain, were thence again sent to Italy;—and therefore I have nothing to say about them here. The passage is not of easy application—some commentators interpreting it as having reference to one variety of hound, and some to another:—
Ovid. Metam. L. iii. vs. 255.
pars invenit utraque causas.
