 moon, given as name of a fish in any book, ancient or modern. 

 The nearest approach is (niu/S^va, given by Cont. Lex. as common 

 name of the bivalve Ensis siliqua, called razor-fish and spout-fish 

 in English according to the Cent. Dictionary. The word aiiu/S^'^a 

 also means spout-fi;^h, being from ancient ffiu?.rj'^, a spout or gutter. 



This name is used by the ancients as name of a bivalve, and 

 this is no doubt the same as is now called <Tou/Sj>a. See Aristotle 

 683b 17, 528a 17 22, 5'18a 5, etc.

XslXoi; means lip, Latin labrum, w'hence the name Labrus. 

 Apostolides gives /el/"? and yzdou as common name of Labrus in 

 all species. Xedatxra is clearly the same as yjdMo. My three spec- 

 imens were obtained on different occasions and probably from 

 diflferent parties, making it evident that yjd.ov is used for Sxjmphodus 

 as well as for Labrus.
