An arrow upon which is the redness of blood that has adhered to it so that it inclines to blackness: a man, when he shot at the enemy with an arrow, and hit, and the enemy then shot it at him with blood upon it, used to put it in his quiver, auguring good from it: or, as some say, it means an arrow which the archers shoot by turns, one at another; an explanation reducible to that before mentioned: or an arrow which one shoots at his enemy and the latter then shoots at the former: or an arrow shot once.
