On the proper name Thusia edit
A proper name Thusia was appeared in the first edition of this page by Richontaban in 21:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC). He edited that:
It is sometimes called by the Greek proper name Thusia, meaning "The Sacrifice", short for Thusia Theriou, from Greek θυσια θηριον "the animal sacrifice".
But according to Allen, the Greek name Θυσιασθηριον (signifying "an altar") given for the constellation Ara.
