Origem do nome

Applied in recent times from the sci-A constellation name qit'at al-faras, "the Section of the Horse," for Equuleus. Ptolemy had Ἵππου Προτομή, "the First Half of the Horse," for the constellation, because it shows only half the figure (as with the constellations Taurus, Pegasus, and the Greek ship Argo).
