They are occasionally found in Viking graves in Norway. Footnote 89: An Egyptian weaving-comb of wood from the tombs at Thebes is in the Museum. Its teeth are differently formed, but the principle of its use is evidently the same. Rich figures a long-handled weaving-comb from a tomb in Thebes, which is now in the British Museum. Footnote 90: Ovid (_Met._ vi. 55) gives a minute description of the process of weaving as follows— “Tela jugo vincta est; stamen secernit arundo Inseritur medium radiis subtemen acutis Quod digiti expediunt, atque inter stamina ductum Percusso feriunt insecti pectine dentes.” Also (_Fasti_, iii. 820) he says that Pallas was the inventress of weaving, and adds— “Illa etiam stantes radio percurrere telas Erudit; et rarum pectine denset opus.” Juvenal (_Sat._ ix. 30) makes Nævolus complain that he gets cloth from a Gaulish weaver greasy and badly woven—“Et male percussas textoris pectine Galli;” while Virgil (_Æn._ vii. 14) represents Circe as— “Arguto tenues percurrens pectine telas;” and again in the _Georgicon_ says— “Interea longum cantu solata laborem Arguto conjunx percurrit pectine telas.”
