Basilica
In some translations, the snake mentioned in Isa 11:8, Isa 59:5, Jer 8:17, and Prov 23:32 is rendered as basilisc or basiliskos. However, this translation is incorrect, since that snake only occurs in Africa. Therefore newer translations refer to the adder, since the text obviously talks about a venomous viper that is prevalent in that region.
