Name of the attendant of Epops [the Hoopoe].1 [It comes] from the [verb] tre/xw ["I run"]; but there is also a bird [called a] tro/xilos and it is said to be (?)sharp-eyed. But some people think it right to accentuate the middle [vowel].2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τρόχιλος· ὄνομα τοῦ ὑπηρέτου Ἔποπος. παρὰ τὸ τρέχω· ἔστι δὲ καὶ ὄρνεον τρόχιλος καὶ λέγεται εἶναι δριμύ. ἀξιοῦσι δέ τινες τὴν μέσην ὀξύνειν.
