Cock. Matthew 26:34; Mark 13:35; Mark 14:30, etc. The domestic cock and hen were early known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, and as no mention is made in the Old Testament of these birds, and no figures of them occur on the Egyptian monuments, they probably came into Judea with the Romans, who, as is well known, prized these birds, both as articles of food and for cock-fighting.
