Origem do nome

Ptolemy's Almagest lists four stars in a quadrilateral with ω Sgr the first in the list (the others being A, b, c Sgr). Bayer (1603) concludes this list with the note after "c": Has quatuor multi Terebellum seu τετράπλευρον vocant. A "terebellum" is an auger, so it designates the asterism at the tip of the tail and originally not a specific star.
