Physigna’thos [one who swells the cheeks].
 
King of the Frogs, and son of Pelus [mud], slain by Troxartas, the Mouse-king.   1
       
“Great Physignathos I, from Peleus’ race,
Begot in fair Hydromede’s embrace,
Where, by the nuptial bank that paints his side,
The swift Erid’anus delights to glide.”
