 Arrian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Flavius Arrianus Xenophon (c 92 -c 175),known in English as Arrian, was a Roman historian.
Arrian was in any case primarily a military historian, and here he followed his great model and namesake, the terse andnarrowly-focussed soldier-historian Xenophon.
But as a writer he felt obliged to follow the prevailing view that serious worksmust be composed in "good Greek," which meant imitating as closely as possible the grammar and literary style of the Athenianwriters of the 5th century BC.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.11.19
Here is Xenophon on what the 'man responsible for the purse nets' should be doing before a hare-hunt: 'drive in the supports at an angle, so that when the nets are fitted on they may keep the tension; put the mesh level at the top and fix it evenly, lifting the noose to the centre.
Given that Xenophon's treatise goes on to attack sophistic education as a dangerous and morally bankrupt rival to hunting (13), it is interesting that Xenophon's Cambyses also opposes Cyrus' veiled, mediated training in deceiving enemies through hunting to an explicit Socratic/Sophistic education in moral relativism concerning deception (1.6.31-2).
For Xenophon, hunting is a labour of virtue and an endurance test -- a civic education that inculcates polis values which are antithetical to those promoted by the sophists who 'speak and write to deceive people for their own profit' (13.8).
