SALVIANVS imagines this fish to have been 

 the Squalus* of the antients, and grounds his 

 opinion on a supposed error in a certain pas- 

 sage in Columella and Varro, where he would 

 substitute the word Squalus instead of Scarus: 

 Columella says no more, than that the old Ro- 

 mans gave much attention to their stews, and 

 kept even the sea fish in fresh water, paying as 

 much respect to the Mullet and Scarus as those 

 of his days did to the Murana and Basse. 



That the Scarus was not our Chub, is very 

 evident ; not only because the Chub is entirely 



* A cartilaginous fish, a shark. Vide Plin. lib. IX. c. 24. 

 Ovid also ranks his Squalus with the sea fish : 



Et Squalus, et tenui suffusus sanguine Mullus. Halieut.
