Section 18

1 This section is the most difficult of all to translate owing to the abundance of technical fishing terms. In spite of marvellous philological industry and wide-flung enquiries L. has been unable to identify a number of words. 2 Sc . the faithful. 1 Sc . the Seven. 2 Lit. 'on the high seas' L. glosses this as meaning that they are not river fish; but this seems to me unnecessary, as my rendering suggests. 3 Used apparently by the fish-seller for advertising his wares. 1 Evidently a wind-instrument of some kind. 2 Presumably a water-bird.
