^{page 258 note 1} The view goes at least as far back as Turnebus. Juan Luis de la Cerda repeated it (P. Virgilii Maronis opera, vol. iii [Cologne, 1628], p. 664Google Scholar), citing a number of passages from Latin authors that mention coracles. His followers include C. D. Yonge (London, 1862), T. L. Papillon and A. E. Haigh (Oxford, 1892), T. E. Page (London, 1894), C. Knapp (New York, 1900), H. E. Butler (Oxford, 1920), F. Fletcher (Oxford, 1941).

^{page 259 note 1} Aulus Gellius (quoting Varro), xvii. 3: Liburni … plerasque naves loris suebant, Graeci magis cannabo et stuppa ceterisque sativis rebus, a quibus σπ⋯ρτα appellabant; Pliny, N.H. xxvi. 40: et cum sutiles fierent naves [by the early Greeks], lino tamen, non sparto, umquam sutas. Both authors are commenting on Iliad ii. 135 (κα⋯ δ⋯ δο⋯ρα σ⋯σηπε νε⋯νκαι σπ⋯ρτα λ⋯λυνται) and assume that Homer is talking not of the ships' rigging but of the twine that bound plank to plank; cf. W. H. S. Jones's note on the passage in the Loeb edition of Pliny. Hourani (p. 258, n. 5), though he quotes Virgil's lines as proof of the leakiness of sewn boats, seems unaware that they were ever used in the Mediterranean; cf. his n. 86 on p. 93 and his remarks on the origin of the sewn boat on pp. 93–94.
