Commonly translated Goshawk, i. e. Astur pahcmbarius, L., which 

 has moreover a reputation for extreme swiftness : but the Goshawk is 

 rare in Greece (Lindermayer, Von der Miihle), and there is no definite 

 tradition in regard to the name (Scaliger, in Arist. p. 249 certe pericu- 

 losum sententiam suam dicere). The above references are all mystical ; 

 cf. s.v. ire'Xeia.

 Apparently distinguished from (pdo-o-a in Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 a,

ap. Athen. 1. c. there is further confusion in the statements as to 



their size, (pdo-o-a and (pdyjr being apparently cited as different, but 



the passage is corrupt. 

 Supposed to be connected with rt. (pop. (pefiopai, but the derivation
