In Sueton. Calig. xxii tetraones numidicae were probably Guinea- 

 fowl. In Plin. X. (22) 29 tetrao is the Black Grouse, Tetrao tetrix : 

 decet tetraonas suus nitor, absolutaque nigritia, in superciliis cocci 

 rubor. The larger variety mentioned next is the Capercaillie, T. uro- 

 galliis : alterum eorum genus vulturum magnitudinem excedit, quorum 

 et colorem reddit ; nee ulla ales, excepto Struthiocamelo, maius corpora 

 implens pondus, &c. 



TE'TPIE. An unidentified bird.

 on the ground. 



Only these two conflicting references occur. Belon took xeVpil for 

 the Black Grouse, Camus and Buffon for the Capercaillie, neither of 

 which occur in Attica. Sundevall identifies it with the Whinchat,

 where the Scholiast is in doubt whether to translate oluds by clinreXos, or 

 (as is of course correct) by Trepia-Tepd, 



The word ropyos comes to us through Alexandrine writers (late- 

 brasque Lycophronis atri !). I take it (in spite of Hesychius) to be an 

 Egyptian word, and to be connected with the root of opxiXos (q. v.) and 

 TpoxiXos ; see also s. v. Tpi6pxT]S. The name Topyiov, cited by Hesychius, 

 is at least more likely to be derived from ropyos, than the latter from it. 



TOY'TIZ* 6 Koa-avcpos, Hesych. A very doubtful word. 

 TPH'PflN. A Pigeon or Dove. 



On the possibility of rpTipwi' being a true pigeon-name, and 



not merely an epithet derived from rpea, vide supra, s. v.
