The common Blue-fish of America ; not noticed by Apostolides. 

 This name is probably the same as youcfdfn reported by Apost. 20 

 as common name for Lichia amia, where see. The man who sold 

 me the specimen probably did not distinguish it from Lichia amia. 



The names are no doubt shortened from YoiJ-fpaptov, a diminutive 

 of yoij.fd'?. This is proved by the existence of yoixcpapt as a paral- 

 lel form (see Lichia amia). Both y6ij.(fii<i and yoiifpapw^ occur in 

 Tzetzes and Oppian (or their scholia) as the name of a fish. 



L. & S. give yoiupdpurj =■ -/.s(jTpsv(s and refer to Tzetzes ad Lyco- 

 phronem 664, and Schol. Oppii^n H. 1, 112, 3, 339, and a gloss, 

 y6p.(po<i iyj}u<i. Tup.fpoq means a bolt, pin or spike. 



Both yniLfpoq and its diminutive yoii.ipapurj were clearly used as 

 names of a fish or fishes ; but the authority of Tzetzes, a Byzan- 

 tine Greek of the Twelfth Century, A. D., or of a late scholiast on 

 Oppian is not sufficient to prove that it meant -AznTpzo^.
