Religion
Book VI, 186
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
We three brothers of one house have dedicated three nets to thee, Pan, from mountain, air, and sea. Cast his nets for this one by the shingly beach, strike the game for this one in the woods, the home of wild beasts, and look with favour on the third among the birds; for thou hast gifts, kind god, from all our netting.
