oppian's

Updated: May 18, 2025

There is some confusion in Oppian's account of the fishery of the <Greek: kaetos> in the fifth book of the Halieutica. I am not aware of any evidence to show that any of the Latin nationals engaged in this fishery until a century or two afterward, though it may not be easy to disprove their earlier participation in it.
