         Comments: The Greek term στρουθίον no doubt refers to the so-called ‘house sparrow,’ which almost always builds its nests near human habitation. In the Orient a similar type of sparrow exists, and a term designating such a sparrow can be used in all contexts in which the Greek term στρουθίον is employed.
