     [...] Massȳlīque ruunt equitēs et odōra canum vīs.

     [As the hunting party gets underway,] out rush Massylian horsemen and potent scent-tracking hounds.
     (The “vis” may be understood as dogs who are eager, hardy, or “potent” in their scent-sniffing abilities, or perhaps the potent scents of the prey. An alternate phrasing: “hounds keen-nosed for the scents [of prey].” A literal translation, understanding “canum” as a genetive plural: “the strong scent-tracking of the dogs.”)
