         DefinitionShort: a long seine net used in fishing

         Glosses: seine net

         Comments: The σαγήνη was a long net hanging vertically in the water with floats at the upper edge and weights at the lower. It was drawn in by men working in boats or from shore. In {S:04001304700016} the actual form of the net is not so important. What is significant is that the net was sufficiently large to catch a large number of different kinds of fish.
