Metropolis.
It is called a city after Budaeus, from which the Colonies were brought out: In Latin, one could call it a matrix: the name [Non Latin] is a matrix, the metaphor seems to be taken from the fetus of cattle, so that just as the fetus is propagated from the womb of cattle, so the cities of the Metropolis are propagated.
Sabellius:
But this is only a rich culture
Neighboring cities between the bright capital
As much as the alder among the Corylos on the river banks,
Or the fruit trees among the viburnums and tough cypress trees.
The Argus to whom the Chronicle refers was surnamed Panoptes, "the all-seeing," because he had a hundred eyes. Hera appointed him guardian of her cow into which Io had been metamorphosed. But Hermes (Mercury) at the command of Zeus, put Argus to death, either by stoning him, or by cutting off his head, after sending him to sleep with sweet notes of his flute. Hera transplanted his eyes to the tail of the peacock, her favorite bird. [Nuremberg Chronicle translated in English. 1493.]
