Plin. H. N. X. 9 epileum Graeci vocant qui solus omni tempore 

 apparet, caeteri hieme abeunt (vide s. v. alcxaXwv). This passage, 

 following on a reference to Bideo, and stating a fact recorded by 

 Aristotle of rpiap-^^jqi (q.v.), suggests that all three are identical. 

 Perhaps connected with, or a mere variant of, Aftoy or AeZo?, q. v.

 "Enicpi, Plut. Is. et Os. lii. p. 372 B : the form oTracpos preserved in
