ViALVIANUS imagines this fifh to have been 

 ^ the Squalus * of the antients, and grounds his 

 opinion on a fuppofed error in a certain pafTage 

 in Columella and Varro^ where he would fubftitute 

 the word Squalus inftead of Scar us : Columella fays 

 no more than that the old Romans payed much 

 attention to their flews, and kept even the fea fifh 

 in frefli water, paying as much refpect to the 

 Mullet and Scarus as thofe of his days did to the 

 Murana and Bafs. 



That the Scarus was not our Chub, is very evi- 

 dent i not only becaufe the Chub is entirely an in- 

 habitant of frefli waters, but likewife it feems im- 

 probable that the Romans would give themfelves 



* A cartilaginous fifh, a mark. Vide Plin. lib. IX. c. 24. 

 Ovid alfo ranks his Squalus with the fea fifh.
