Kestreus gre. piscis cefalus mugilus.


Apparatus:

Kestreus ACD | Kestereus B.

mugilus ABCD.


Translation:

Kestreus is the Greek word for Latin cefalus or mugilus {i.e. both meaning "mullet"}.


Commentary:

Greek κεστρεύς /kestreús/ means "mullet". κέφαλος /képhalos/ "a species of mullet".

Latin mugilis was misread as mugilus.
