Notes:
[1] Tartessus (probably = biblical Tarshish) was on the Atlantic coast of
Spain: see OCD(4) s.v. As to this "Birdless Lake", it is not to be confused with other such lakes (and other geographical features) elsewhere; cf.
alpha 2849.
[2] See
alpha 125.
[3] The first and third sentences of this entry are from a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Frogs 475. On the Tartesian muraena, see also
tau 136 and
tau 1124.
