* a camel.
Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether
[kamelos [] ever was so translated
before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on
Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written [kamilos,] not with
an "e" [eta], but with an "i" [iota.] Some few MSS., it is
true, have got the word [kamilos] into the text, but it is
evidently an attempted improvement.
