The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: s.v. {sumpheronta}.
[15] {sardonion}, Pollux, v. 31. Al. "fixing the stakes between the
edges."
Then he will play sentinel and go his rounds; if a prop or funnel
wants supporting, he will set it up; and when the hare comes with the
hounds behind her he will urge her forwards to the toils, with shout
and halloa thundering at her heels. When she is fairly entangled, he
is to calm the fury of the hounds, without touching them, by soothing,
encouraging tones. He is also to signal to the huntsman with a shout,
that the quarry is taken, or has escaped this side or that, or that he
has not seen it, or where he last caught sight of it.[16]
