Notes: An ἀμφίβληστρον had small weights attached to the outer border, and it was normally thrown in such a manner as to encircle fish. In trying to obtain a satisfactory equivalent expression in another language, it is not necessary to try to duplicate all the details of form. What is important is that such a net was thrown rather than being dragged.
