APPENDIX. 261 



Celtica, their unsightly aspect, their noisy howl, and extraordinary 

 sagacity of nose, indirectly proves the speed and keen-rscentedness of 

 the Carian and Cretan. Oppian enjoins the hound of Crete to be 

 crossed with that of Pannonia, and the Carian, as if different, with 

 the Thracian,

but, it is probable, the Pannonian and Thracian resembled each 



other as much as the Cretan and Carian. 



Two sub-varieties are recorded by Julius Pollux under the titles of 



btairovoi and Trdpnnroi : — the former so called from their bustling, 



indefatigable character — rets vvktus toIs jjuipais ev toIs ttous tu Qrjpia Pollucis

To these the courser of Nicomedia adds a third sub-variety, seem- 

 ingly produced by the union of the former two — at bicnrovoi airo rov Arriani

Irafiai probably answering to the Trapnnroi of the philologist. On the 

 authority of Arrian, we conclude the Cretan and Carian modes of Ejusdem 

 hunting to have been the same as generally practised in Greece — such ^' ' * 



as are described at large by the elder Xenophon in his Cynegeticus. 

 See Meursii Opera, Tom. iii. c. vii. Greta. 



Though not used by the elder Xenophon in the common hare- 

 chase, the Cretans are recommended for boar-hunting, and were 

 sometimes employed in pursuit of deer.
