The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: depth,[7] and two palms[8] at the nooses or pockets.[9] There should
be no knots in the cords that run round, which should be so inserted
as to run quite smoothly.[10] The road net should be twelve-threaded,
and the larger net (or haye) sixteen. They may be of different sizes,
the former varying from twelve to twenty-four or thirty feet, the
latter from sixty to one hundred and twenty or one hundred and eighty
feet.[11] If larger they will be unwieldy and hard to manage. Both
should be thirty-knotted, and the interval of the nooses the same as
in the ordinary small nets. At the elbow ends[12] the road net should
be furnished with nipples[13] (or eyes), and the larger sort (the
haye) with rings, and both alike with a running line of twisted cord.
