Abstract

The Artemidorus Papyrus has a legend on the verso (V6) that bears the usual word for 'beaver' in ancient Greek, i.e. ΚáΣτΩρ. This does not correspond to the drawing of the animal, which looks more like a dog. Through an analysis of various zoological texts, this article solves the difficulty by considering the other zoonym of the beaver, which was ΚυΝοΠóτΑΜος, i.e. the 'river dog'.
