 so identified by Gesner, followed by Sundevall, Aubert and 

 Wimmer, &c.. Mod. Gk. rovp\i8a (Erh.). Applied by the

According to Boios ap. Anton. Lib. c. xv, Agron is metamorphosed 

 into the bird ^apaSptoy, the other characters in the story turning into 

 various other nocturnal birds. 



The sight of it is said to cure the jaundice, the bird catching it itself 

 through the eyes ; hence aTroo-rpe^erat TOVS txreptSj/ray, KCU ra op/nara
