 GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



"APAY. 6 KVKVOS, VTTO SKV^COV, Hesych. 



'AfO'P' deros, KvTrptot, Hesych. 



- Bochart (Hieroz. II. c. xi, coll. 79, 80) shows good reason for 

 supposing that deros here should read yepavos, and that dyop is 

 merely Heb. "\1jy, a crane (Jerem. viii. 7 ; Is. xxxviii. 14). Cf. 

 Lewysohn, Zool. d. Talmuds, p. 169. 



'ArPAKO'MAI' opvts TIS vno ILa^L\wv, Hesych. 



'APPEY'Z. An unknown bird. It is like a Blackbird, black, musical, 

 and a mimic, Ael. viii. 24. The description is somewhat sug-

'AAflNHl'l, s. dSuimjis (cf. Creuzer, Symb. ii. 478). ^ xeXi8a>i/, Hesych. 

 Cf. drjo'ovis, S. V. drjSwK.

 Arat. 315 ; alperos, for al ferns, Hesych. Dim. aenSeuy, Ael. vii. 47, Aesop, 

 Fab. I. deros is said to be 'the flyer,' 'the Bird] from root af or vt, 

 of Sk. m-s, Lat. avi-s, and of Gk. ar^i : the same root perhaps in 

 ol-wv-os (Curt.) and al-yvTr-ios ; cf. the Greek use of olavos ; also the 

 Lat. use of ales for Eagle, and opveov in M. Gk. for Vulture. Never- 

 theless, the absence of Eagle-names similar to aeros in other Indo-
