According to Apostolides the names r/ny/rs" and p.Taj.pp.TanrH are 

 common to all species of the Mullus. M-app-uwi is an Italian 

 name. The same fish is common in both Italian and Greek mar- 

 kets under this same name. It is perhaps the same as the fish 

 which the Romans called Barbus. Ans. Morell., 94, 134, of. Cic. 

 Par. 5, 2, 38, Barbatulus mullus, and id. Att. 2, 1, 7, Barbati mulli, 

 bearded mullets. 



According to Aristotle the rpiyXrj (or zpiyXa) has many pyloric 

 appendages, is the only fish that breeds three times a year, is 

 especially infested with fish lice, feeds on sea-weed, shell-fish and 

 mud; it lives near the shore, is found in the lagoons, runs in 

 schools and eats flesh, but is not exclusively carnivorous. 



Athen. vii, 125. The rpiyXri is sharp-toothed, gregarious, all 

 spotted (?), and moreover carnivorous. When it has produced 

 young (spawned) three times it is barren, for it gets little worms 

 in its uterus which devour the eggs (or young y(h(}<i). Speusip- 

 pus says the y.('r/.y.ij'= , yzhod)-^ and rpiykrj are similar. They are called 

 red-colored and yellow -colored.
