Note 412 — BOOK THE THIRTEENTH.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4
Footnote 412: (return) So I have ventured to render κήτεα. Nonius Marcell. v. Cetarii—“cete in mari majora sunt piscium genera.” Thus Quintus Calaber, v. 94, imitating this passage, has δελφινες, and Hesychius defines κητών by θύννων φορά, the word evidently meaning any huge fish. Cf. Buttm. Lexil. p. 378, sq.
