Another fish is the trachurus, or rough-tail. Diodes mentions this as a dry fish. And Numenius, in his Art of Fishing, says— The aconia and the wagtail too, And the . . . trachurus.

There is also the taulopias. Concerning this fish, A chestratus says— When it is summer buy a good-sized head Of fresh taulopias, just when Phaethon Is driving his last course. Dress it with speed. Serve it up hot, and some good seasoning with it, Then take its entrails, spit and roast them too.

There is also the τευθὶς, [which is a kind of cuttle-fish, different from the σηπίο.] Aristotle says that this also is a gregarious fish, and that it has a great many things in com- mon with the sepia; such as the same number of feet, and the two proboscises: but of this kind the lower feet are the smaller, and the upper feet the larger; and of the proboscises, that on the right side is the thickest: and the whole body is delicate, and of a more oblong shape than the sepia. And the teuthis also has ink in its mutis, which, however, is not black, but of a pale colour. And its shell is very small, and cartilaginous.
