Etymology and History
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. "Terebellum" means quadrilateral, so the name originally designated the asterism at the tip of the tail and not a specific star.
