and, in his second edition of the Clouds, he says—
Imitating my images of the eels (ἐγχελέων);
and in his Wasps we find the dative case—
I don't delight in rays nor in ἐγχέλεσιν
And Strattis, in his Potamii, said—
A cousin of the eels (ἐγχελέων).
Simonides, too, in his Iambics, writes—
Like an eel (ἔγχελυς) complaining of being slippery.
He also uses it in the accusative—
A kite was eating a Mæandrian eel (ἔγχελυν),
But a heron saw him and deprived him of it.
