it were well not to come too close the quarry�察�should it chance to be a stag�察�

or he will lunge out with his antlers and his feet�察�better therefore let fly 

your javelins from a distance。 

     These animals may also be captured without aid of gin or caltrop�察�by 

sheer coursing in hot summer time�察�they get so tired�察�they will stand still to 

be shot down。 If hard pressed they will plunge into the sea or take to water

     These hunts should be conducted not singly�撮�10�А�but in parties�察�since 

the wild boar can be captured only by the collective energy of several men�察�

and that not easily。

united energies of several to capture this game。; See Hom。 ;Il。;                          ix。

     I will now explain how each part of the gear is to be used in hunting。 

     The company being come to some place where a boar is thought to lie�察�

the   first   step   is   to   bring   up   the   pack�撮�11�А  �which   done�察  �they   will   loose   a 

single Laconian bitch�察�and keeping the rest in leash�察�beat about with this 

one hound。��12�А�As soon as she has got on the boar's track�察�let them follow 

in order�察�one after another�察�close on the tracking hound�察�who gives the lead 

to the whole company。��13�А�Even to the huntsmen themselves many a mark 

of the creature will be plain�察�such as his footprints on soft portions of the 

ground�察�and in the thick undergrowth of forests broken twigs�察�and�察�where 

there are single trees�察�the scars made by his tusks。��14�А�As she follows up 

the   trail   the   hound   will�察  �as   a   general   rule�察  �finally   arrive   at   some   well´ 

wooded spot�察�since�察�as a general rule�察�the boar lies ensconced in places of 

the sort�察�that are warm in winter and cool in summer。
