Part 75

τοὔνεκεν ἱππελάται κείνων ἐπιβήτορες ἵππων ἠδὲ κύνας λείπουσι φίλους, πίσυνοί τ’ ἐλόωσιν ἵπποις, ἠελίου τε βολῇ, καὶ νόσφιν ἀρωγῶν.

The Cynegeticus is contained in the third volume of this uncommon edition; which the writer regrets not to have seen till his translation was printed off. Its principal attraction is the novel annexation of some Greek Scholia by the editor, ingenious and explanatory. Those of the Cynegeticus, in a few instances, give a different interpretation of the text to what is given by the translator; but these are not very important.

Transcriber’s Notes:

• Text enclosed by underscores is in italics (italics). • Text enclosed by pluses is in small caps (+small caps+). • Text enclosed by equals is in Antiqua (=Antiqua=). • Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. • Errata on page 314 have been applied. • A near copy of the "greyhound puppies" statue on page 66 (actually Italian Greyhounds) from the same villa is in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.
