In these mythical stories, with which compare Physiol. Syr. xv 

 (volucris tota alba, nee ulla in ea nigredo est : reperitur in regum

 Deut. xiv. 18) arising from a confusion of names. 



In Babr. Ixxxii (Ixxxviii, W. G. R.) Cod. Ath. has xap«Sp«oi>'' for Kopv- 

 hdWos : the word is here perhaps a corrupt connexion of Kokavhpos, 

 It. calandra, which occurs in Dion. De Avib. iii. 15. Cf. W. H.

 residens, sed in aere rapiat escas et edat.
