Quercerellam vocant Franci, non corrupta voce, quasi Cenchrel- 

 lellam, ut ait Ruellius, sed quasi Querquerellam ; nam Quer- 

 querum, lamentabile, dixerunt veteres; semper enim stridet et 

 queri videtur. The derivation from K^yxpos is also old, of. Camus 

 ii. p. 257 'parce qu'elle a le plumage couvert de petites taches 

 comme de petites graines.'

Mentioned also in Ar. Av. 304, 589, 1181 : Ael. xii. 4. One of the 

 daughters of Pieros was transformed by the Muses into the bird 

 Keyxpis, Nicand. ap. Anton. Lib. c. 9. 



In Aeh xiii. 25, Ktyxpis seems to refer to a different bird, being

 a similar way by EubuL ap. Athen. ii. 65 e.
