The 19th century classical scholar Friedrich Thiersch supposed that Pliny the Elder, in the words "Argius, Asopodorus," mis-translated his Greek authority, which had Ἀργεῖος Ἀσωπόδωρος, or "Asopodorus the Argive."<ref>Friedrich Thiersch, Epochen, p. 275</ref> But "Argius" is found as a Greek proper name in both the forms, Ἄργιος and Ἀργεῖος.<ref>Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica 2.1.5</ref><ref>Aristoph.
