And furthermore the LXX rendering MUS does not prove anything since there
seems to be no distinguishing word for *rat* in the lexical stock available
to the LXX translators.

Still working on this but so far have found no rats in Homeric/Attic/Koine.
Would be pleased to hear from someone who can show me a Greek rat but so far
have no takers.
