{Casting a net into the sea} (allantas amphibl(8873)tron eis
t(886e) thalassan). The word here for net is a casting-net (compare
amphiball(935c) in  Mr 1:16 , casting on both sides). The net was
thrown over the shoulder and spread into a circle (amphi). In
 4:20  and  4:21  another word occurs for nets (diktua), a word
used for nets of any kind. The large drag-net (sag(886e)(885c)) appears
in  Mt 13:47 .
