Note 705 — APPENDICES.
Reading edition
Jaculator corresponds to the Greek ἀμφιβολεὺς.
Ausonius, in the following lines, which refer to the methods of fishing in the vicinity of the Garonne, appears to distinguish between the jaculum and the funda.
Piscandi traheris studio? nam tota supellex Dumnotoni tales solita est ostendere gazas: Nodosas vestes animantum Nerinorum, Et jacula, et fundas, et nomina villica lini, Colaque, et indutos terrenis vermibus hamos. Epist. iv. 51-55.
