Quercerellam vocant Franci, non corrupta voce, quasi Cenchrel- 

 lellam, ut ait Ruellius, sed quasi Querquerellam ; nam Quer- 

 querum, lamentabile, dixerunt veteres; semper enim stridet et 

 queri videtur. The derivation from Keyxpos is also old, cf. Camus 

 ii. p. 257 'parce qu'elle a le plumage couvert de petites taches 

 comme de petites graines.'

 daughters of Pieros was transformed by the Muses into the bird 

 Keyxpis, Nicand. ap. Anton. Lib. c. 9.

 mentioned as a dainty with <rvKoXis, and Kepxvrjs is mentioned in 

 a similar way by Eubul. ap. Athen. ii. 65 e.
