and I asked him about the ship’s equipment, whether he would take it over, or whether he had brought equipment of his own with him.

but as it is, the question concerns the succession to a ship, and extra trierarchal expenses for five months and six days, and it concerns also the laws, whether they are to be in force, or not.

by that may we cross over all difficulties and mount a well-constructed ship.

For they are the inventions of man, not of the wise man, just as much, by Hercules, as ships, in which we cross rivers and seas, with sails fitted to catch the force of the winds, and rudders added at the stern, which turn the ship's course this way and that.

So now at the tent of Ajax by the ships where he has his post at the camp’s outer edge, I watch you for a long time as you hunt and scan his newly pressed tracks, in order to see whether he is inside or away.
