teuthis

  1. (Ancient Greece) A small squid.
    • 1862, Aristotle, translated by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, History of Animals:
      “[…] Compared with one another, the teuthis, or calamary, is long-shaped, and the sepia flat-shaped; and of the calamaries the so-called teuthus is much bigger than the teuthis; for teuthi have been found as much as five ells long.”
