Unclean (Leviticus 11:17; Deuteronomy 14:17). Septuagint katarraktes , which Speaker's Commentary makes the "cormorant," Ρhalacrocorax crabo , often seen in Syria, and occasionally at the sea of Galilee; this the Appendix to Smith's Dict. contradicts. But for "cormorant" in Isaiah 34:11; Zephaniah 2:14, translated "pelican," Hebrew qa'ath .
