 foreign influence or even of spurious origin.

KAIANAH'PION- IktIvos, Hesych. A very doubtful word ; an emended 

 reading is Kaa-w Orjpiov (Schmidt). 



KA'iniOI "OPNII. A remarkable bird, of three varieties, of which 

 one croaks like a frog, one bleats like a goat, and the third barks 

 like a dog. Full description in Ael. xvh. 33, 38. It is not 

 identified by Gesner. 



KATAPPA'KTHI, s. KaTapdicTT]$ (Arist., Codd. Med. Vatic, &c). An 

 unknown bird ; the references to which are so discordant as to 

 suggest that the meaning was early lost, if indeed the name was 

 ever applied to an actual species. It is the ' Cormorant,' "pB>, 

 of the LXX. 



Mentioned in Ar. Av. 886. In Soph. frr. 344, 641, applied to the 

 Eagle and to the Harpies (cf. Hesych.), as KarappaKTrjp is to icipKos, Lye.
