o The hermaphrodite Eryth(r)inus of A. 538 a 20, 567 a 27, 

 etc. ; Plin. ix. 56, seems to be a Serranus {perhaps S. anthias). 

 It is a pelagic fish (A. 598 a 13). As a descriptive term Hke 

 Erythinus {i.e. red) might be applied to different fishes (c/. i 

 Athen. 300 f), the schol. XidpLvdpLa, f)ov<na, which suggests a 1 

 Paffrus or Pagellus, perhaps Pagellus erythrinus, M.G. 

 Xvdplvi., \v6pivdpt (collectively for all species of Pagellus, 

 Apost. p. 17) may be right. Ov. Hal. 104 caeruleaque 

 rubens erythinus in unda; Plin. xxxii. 152; Hesych. s. 

 ipvdivoi.
