_361. Greek Names of Fishes._--Can any of your learned correspondents
inform me upon what authority the Greek names of fishes occurring in the
following verses from the _Vespae_, 493, are translated "sprats" and
"mackerel?" I have only Donnegan's very unsatisfactory compilation here.
"[Greek: en men onetai tis orphos, membradas de me thele,
eutheos eirech' ho polon plesion tas membradas;
houtos opsonein eoich' anthropos epi tyrannidi]," &c.
