The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: {Stibon} = Tracker
{'Orme} = Dash. So Arrian ("Cyn." viii. 5) named his favourite hound.
For other names see Herodian, {peri mon. l} (on monosyllables),
12. 7; "Corp. Inscr." iv. p. 184, n. 8319; Arrian, v. 6, xix.;
Colum. vii. 12, 13. According to Pollux, v. 47, Xenophon had a dog
named {ippokentauros} (cf. "Cyrop." IV. iii. 17).
The young hounds may be taken out to the chase at the age of eight
months[9] if bitches, or if males at the age of ten. They should not
be let loose on the trail of a hare sitting,[10] but should be kept
attached by long leashes and allowed to follow on a line while
scenting,[11] with free scope to run along the trail.[12]
