 s.v. 'H/ifpim £a>a (whatever that may mean) mentions k^vkcs as sea- 

 birds, together with aXwoves and drjbopes. On the fable of Ceyx, 

 Alcyone, &c, see Ovid. Met. xi. 269, &c, &c. ; Ceyx comes into 

 relation with Hercules and the Argonautic legends in Anton. Lib. 

 c. xxvi ; and the Hesiodic myth of Ceyx and Cycnus is of the same 

 order. We may, I think, rest assured that icrjvg was not originally 

 a concrete and specific bird-name, but a mystical term associated with 

 the Halcyon-myth (cf. s. v. KtjpuXos).

 A Wagtail, Motacilla sp. According to Hesychius, Photius, and 



Suidas, also called KiXXoupos and aciaoiruyis (q. v.). 



Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 b mentioned among the smaller aquatic birds 

 with oxomXos and Truyapyos ; is less than the latter, which is as large as

Sundevall takes KiyKXos to be a Sandpiper, Tringa sp., chiefly, as it 

 seems, because ax^ipiXos is doubtless a name for the Wagtail, Motacilla. 

 But I prefer to believe that KiyKXos is also a Wagtail, firstly because the 

 movement is much more characteristic and noticeable in that bird than 

 in the Sandpiper, secondly because of the statement as to its size, and
