2. Dorion, as quoted above, distinguished ovos and 

 dvio-Kos, which we may take to mean that they were 

 not usually distinguished. Oppian thrice mentions 

 the ovia-Kos, H. iii. IQI as bait for the opKvvos; H. i. 

 105 where he says its habitat is in iryXola-L kuI kv 

 Tcvayfcro-i OaXd(T(Ti]<i (102), while the habitat of the 

 ovos is kv fSkvOtcrcriv H. i. 145 fF. Lastly, //. i. 59S, 

 the mode of propagation of the 6vi(rKo<i is said to be 

 unknown. To Oppian therefore the oros and ovtcrKo? 

 were different fishes. On the other hand they are 

 identified by Eustath. Horn. p. 862 6vo% IxBvs ttoios,
