 common in all marshy places (Kriiper, &c.).

The size accords with that of the Tawny Owl, Syrnium Aluco, L., 

 which is common in Greece and is not definitely ascribed to any 

 other classical name. Scaliger so identifies it, taking eXcds from the 

 owl's cry, cf. e'XeXfO, &c., also Lat. ulula. Sundevall reads e'Xeo'y 

 s. e\ios = palustris, supporting this view by the mention of Crex 

 in the context, and identifies the bird with Strix brachyotus, L., the 

 Short-eared or Marsh Owl. But both etymological suggestions are 

 more than doubtful, and neither Tawny nor Short-eared Owl Qrjpcvet
