There were eels, for which Daphne was famous; alphests and callichthys; pompilos, a purple fish, said to have been born from sea-foam at the birth of Aphrodite; boops and bedradones; gray mullet; cuttle-fish; tunny-fish and mussels.

Deep in the wave is a coral grove, Where the purple mullet and gold-fish rove; Where the sea-flower spreads its leaves of blue, That never are wet with the falling dew, But in bright and changeful beauty shine, Far down in the green and glassy brine.

Here are delicious mullets, oysters, whitings, soles, prawns, etc.

Finding among the party an old friend of mine, usually known by the name of Funny-eye, I obtained with some difficulty permission to sleep at his fire, and he gave me a roasted mullet for supper.

Stewed mullets.

These supported on the left breast a silver star, or heraldic mullet, of six points.

The golden mullet and the Becca fica are abundant; and all the articles brought to market are procurable at low prices.
