摘要
我的同事,W. M. Lindsay教授,邀请我回复他关于“Ciris”(课堂)的笔记。夸脱。第十九。(第103、104页);我只能相信他的话。林赛教授试图识别海利特斯和克里斯这两只鸟,并发现这项任务很容易;他自信而明确地把克里斯和燕鸥等同起来。我们(他说)从加卢斯的“epyllium”中得知,它是一种长着红腿的海鸟,飞行速度如此之快,以至于它总是能躲避海鹰的猛扑。这不是一个术语吗?”
My colleague, Professor W. M. Lindsay, invites, or challenges, me to reply to his note on ‘Ciris’ (Class. Quart. XIX., pp. 103, 104); I can but take him at his word. Professor Lindsay seeks to identify the two birds Haliaetus and Ciris, and finds the task an easy one; he identifies Ciris with a Tern confidently and categorically. We learn (he says) ‘from Gallus' epyllium … that it was a sea-bird with red legs, so rapid in flight that it always evaded the swoop of the sea-eagle. What can this be but a tern?’
