Note 1 — BOOK III.
Rowland Smith translation
περιάγειν τὴν κεραίαν. Two ropes hung from the horns of the antenna or yard, the use of which was to turn it round as the wind veered, so as to keep the sail opposite the wind. See a cut at p. 52 of the Greek and Rom. Antiq.
"Cornua velatarum obvertimus antennarum."—Æn. iii. 549.
"At sunset they began to take in sail, For the sky showed it would come on to blow, And carry away, perhaps, a mast or so."—Byron.
