ὁλκαίην ψαίρουσαι: αἵτινες ὑπὸ τὴν οὐρὰν τοῦ ταύρου ἐγγίζουσαι καὶ ἁπτόμεναι ἢ ψαίρουσαι ἀντὶ τοῦ κινούμεναι, μικρόταται ἐπιφέρονται. λέγει δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἐπιτολαῖς τῶν Πλειάδων. τότε οὐν, φησι, ἔκφυγε τὸ δῆγμα. ὁλκαίην δὲ τὴν οὐρὰν λέγει παρὰ τὸ ἕλκεσθαι ὑπὸ τοῦ ὅλου σώματος. γράφεται καὶ ἀλκαίην καταχρηστικῶς· κυρίως γὰρ ἡ τοῦ λέοντος οὐρὰ ἀλκαία καλεῖται, ὅτι δι’ αὐτῆς ἑαυτὸν ἐποτρύνει καὶ ἐγείρει εἰς ἀλκήν· (Hom. II. Υ 171) αἰεὶ δ’ αὑτὸν ἐποτρύνει μαχέσασθαι. Ἄρατος (phaen. 517) μὲν ἡμιτελῆ φησιν εἶναι τὸν ταῦρον, οὗτος δ’ ὁλόκληρον. ὁλκὴ γὰρ ἡ οὐρά.
