f(1) The Greek word used here was the word of command employed to stop
the rowers.
CINESIAS "...as I soar over the seas, carried by the breath of the

PISTHETAERUS By Zeus! but I'll cut your breath short.
CINESIAS "...now rushing along the tracks of Notus, now nearing Boreas
across the infinite wastes of the ether." (PISTHETAERUS BEATS HIM.) Ah!
old man, that's a pretty and clever idea truly!
