hounds slip one and all�察�then each will snatch up his javelin��22�А�and boar´
spear�察�and advance。 Some one man�察�the most practised hand�察�will cheer on
the hounds�察 �and the rest will follow in good order at some considerable
distance from one another�察�so as to leave the animal a free passage�察�since if
he falls into the thick of them as he makes off�察�there is a fair chance of
being wounded�察�for he will certainly vent his fury on the first creature he
falls foul of。
��22�А �Lit。 ;then they will take their javelins and boar´spears and
advance。;
As soon as the hounds are near his lair�察�they will make their onslaught。
The boar�察�bewildered by the uproar�察�will rise up and toss the first hound
that ventures to attack him in front。 He will then run and fall into the toils�察�
or if not�察�then after him full cry。��23�А�Even if the ground on which the toils
environ him be sloping�察�he will recover himself promptly�撮�24�А�but if level�察�
he will at once plant himself firm as a rock�察 �as if deliberating with
himself。��25�А �At that conjuncture the hounds will press hard upon him�察�
while their masters had best keep a narrow eye upon the boar and let fly
their javelins and a pelt of stones�察�being planted in a ring behind him and a
good way off�察�until the instant when with a forward heave of his body he
stretches the net tight and strains the skirting´rope。 Thereupon he who is
most skilful of the company and of the stoutest nerve will advance from
the front and deliver a home thrust with his hunting´ spear。
��23�А�Or�察 �a pretty chase must follow。;
��24�А �Or�察 �if within the prison of the net the ground be sloping�察 �it
will not take long to make him spring up�察�he will be up again on his
legs in no time。;
��25�А�Or�察 �being concerned about himself。;
Should the animal for all that rain of javelins and stones refuse to
stretch the skirting´rope�察�should he rather relax��26�А �in that direction and
make a right´about´face turn bearing down on his assailant�察 �there is
nothing for it�察 �under these circumstances�察 �but to seize a boar´spear�察 �and
advance�察�firmly clutching it with the left hand forward and with the right
behind�察�the left is to steady it�察�and the right to give it impulse�察�and so the

with right。 As he advances�察�he will make a lunge forward with the boar´
spear�撮�27�А �planting his legs apart not much wider than in wrestling�撮�28�А�
and keeping his left side turned towards his left hand�察�and then�察�with his
eye fixed steadily on the beast's eye�察 �he will note every turn and
movement of the creature's head。 As he brings down the boar´spear to the
thrust�察 �he must take good heed the animal does not knock it out of his
hands by a side movement of the head�撮�29�А�for if so he will follow up the
impetus of that rude knock。 In case of that misfortune�察�the huntsman must
throw himself upon his face and clutch tight hold of the brushwood under
him�察�since if the wild boar should attack him in that posture�察�owing to the
upward curve of its tusks�察�it cannot get under him�撮�30�А�whereas if caught
erect�察�he must be wounded。 What will happen then is�察�that the beast will
try to raise him up�察�and failing that will stand upon and trample him。

From this extremity there is but one means of escape�察�and one alone�察�
for the luckless prisoner。 One of his fellow´huntsmen must approach with
boar´spear and provoke the boar�察�making as though he would let fly at him�察�
but let fly he must not�察�for fear of hitting the man under him。 The boar�察�on
seeing this�察�will leave the fallen man�察�and in rage and fury turn to grapple
his assailant。 The other will seize the instant to spring to his feet�察�and not
forget to clutch his boar´spear as he rises to his legs again�察�since rescue
cannot be nobly purchased save by victory。��31�А �Let him again bring the

shoulder´blade�察 �where lies the throat�撮�32�А �and planting his body firmly

So much and even greater trouble may be loked for from the wild boar

into the toils�察�the huntsman should run up and prod her�察�taking care not to
be pushed off his legs and fall�察 �in which case he cannot escape being
trampled on and bitten。 Ergo�察�he will not voluntarily get under those feet�察�
but if involuntarily he should come to such a pass�察�the same means��38�А�of
helping each the other to get up again will serve�察�as in the case of the male
animal�察 �and when he has regained his legs�察 �he must ply the boar´spear
