Commonly translated Gos/iawk, i. e. Astur pahimbariiis, L., which 

 has moreover a reputation for extreme swiftness : but the Goshawk is 

 rare in Greece (Lindermayer, Von der Miihle), and there is no definite 

 tradition in regard to the name (Scaliger, in Arist. p. 249 certe pericu- 

 losum sententiam suam dicere). The above references are all mystical ; 

 cf. s.v. ire'Xeia.

Apparently distinguished from (pdacra in Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 a,

ap. Athen. 1. c. there is further confusion in the statements as to 



their size, pdacra and (pa^^ being apparently cited as different, but 



the passage is corrupt.
