Kefalos ichthys grece cefalus piscis mugilis.


Apparatus:

ichthys AC | ichthis ms. e | ichitis (-is f) B f

cefalus (-us B) ABC | cefallus ms. e | Kchefalus f {rubricated in f}

mugilis AC | mugilus (-us f) B f | mugillus ms. e


Translation:

Greek kefalos ichthys is in Latin cefalus piscis {lit. "the fish cefalus"}, or another Latin name for it is mugilis.


Commentary:

Greek ἰχθῦς or ἰχθύς /ikhthŷs/ or /ikhthýs/ is the word for "fish"; and κέφαλος /képhalos/ is the name for a species of mullet; the word was adopted into late Latin as cephalus. Latin mugilis or mugil is a sea-fish, possibly the mullet.
