OpVIS 7TOIOS. 



In Sueton. Calig. xxii tetraones numidicae were probably Guinea- 

 fowl. In Plin. x. (22) 29 tetrao is the Black Grouse, Tetrao tetrix : 

 decet tetraonas suus nitor, absolutaque nigritia, in superciliis cocci 

 rubor. The larger variety mentioned next is the Capercaillie, T. uro- 

 gallus : alterum eorum genus vulturum magnitudinem excedit, quorum 

 et colorem reddit ; nee ulla ales, excepto Struthiocamelo, maius corpore 

 implens pondus, &c. 



TE'TPIE. An unidentified bird.

 (pvrols. A few lines before it is mentioned with the lark as nesting 

 on the ground. 



Only these two conflicting references occur. Belon took rerpit- for 

 the Black Grouse, Camus and Buffon for the Capercaillie, neither of 

 which occur in Attica. Sundevall identifies it with the Whinchat, 

 vide s. v. TeTpa£.

 where the Scholiast is in doubt whether to translate olvds by ap.ne\os, or 

 (as is of course correct) by nepiarepd. 



The word ropyos comes to us through Alexandrine writers (late- 

 brasque Lycophronis atri !). I take it (in spite of Hesychius) to be an 

 Egyptian word, and to be connected with the root of opxiXos (q. v.) and 

 TpoxtXos ; see also s. v. Tpiopx^s- The name Topyiov, cited by Hesychius, 

 is at least more likely to be derived from ropyos, than the latter from it. 



TOYTir 6 K6a<rv(pos, Hesych. A very doubtful word. 

 TPH'PHN. A Pigeon or Dove. 



On the possibility of Tpripwi/ being a true pigeon-name, and 



not merely an epithet derived from rpea, vide supra, s. v.
