54 A GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



'EN0Y'IKO2' 6 dacpaXos, to oppeop, Hesych. 



"EniZA- opvca, Kvnpioi, Hesych. (<nri£ia, conj. Salmas.) 



'EniAAl"*!. An unknown small bird. 



Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 592 b opvis o-Kcokrjitocpdyos. Sylburge, Schneider, 

 Piccolos and others read inrokats, q. v. 



'EfllAEfOX, s. eirtXeos. A bird of prey, perhaps the Buzzard, Buteo 

 vulgaris, Bechst. 



Plin. H. N. x. 9 epileum Graeci vocant qui solus omni tempore 

 apparet, caeteri hieme abeunt (vide s. v. aio-dXwi'). This passage, 

 following on a reference to Buteo, and stating a fact recorded by 

 Aristotle of rpiopxrjs (q. v.), suggests that all three are identical. 

 Perhaps connected with, or a mere variant of, e'Xetos or Xelos, q. v. 



'Eno'AIOI. eldos Spveov wKTfpivav, Suid. Ambiguum an illud, quod ab 

 Aristotele alyaXuk, H. St. Thesaur. App. p. 942 E.

a succession of bird-names all very similar, whose meaning and deri- 

 vation are alike obscure.

 KOKopos (Boch., Jonston ; still on Mt. Taygetus, Heldr.), dypiotcoicopag 

 (v. d. Miihle). enoyp- is, in form, onomatopoeic, like upupa, but is very 

 probably based on an Egyptian solar name, "Anoms, 'HXiov dfteXcpos, 

 Plut. De Is. xxxvi ; with which cfSEnacpos — Herod, ii. 153, &c, &c; also 

 "Emcpi, Plut. Is. et Os. lii. p. 372 B : the form dncKpos preserved in 

 Hesychius is identical with the name used by the Syriac Physiologist.
