Note 468 — Chapter XIV

See Mayor’s Juvenal and Gifford’s Trans., IV. 15. In Pliny, IX. 31, Mutianus speaks of a mullet which was caught in the Red Sea, weighing 80 lbs. The comment of I. D. Lewis (on Juv., IV. 15 f.) that this fish “is utterly fabulous,” is not the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
