Plin. x. (27) 39 Seleucides aves vocantur quarum adventum ab love 

 precibus impetrant Casii mentis incolae, fruges eorum locustis vastan- 

 tibus. Nee unde veniant, quove abeant, compertum, nunquam con- 

 spectis nisi cum praesidio indigetur. 



Cf. Ael. xvii. 19 ; Galen, De Loc. Affect, vi. 3 ; Hesych., &c. 



The bird, under the name Samarmog or Samarmar is in like manner 

 reverenced to this day by the Arabs ; cf. Niebuhr, Beschreib. v. Arabiens, 

 p. 174. In Mod. Gk. it is called dyioTroOXi on its Spring migration, 

 when it destroys the grasshoppers, and 8ia/3oXo7rovXi in Autumn, when 

 it devours the grapes (Heldr.).
