Warcupp tr. F. Schottus Italy 177 Upon another Image of an Emperour triumphing drawn by four horses, stands a Simia [It. Scimia] an Ape cut in Æthiopick Marble in the form the Ægyptians used to worship it.

Zoology. Now historical and rare.

An ape or monkey, spec. any of those included in the (former) genus Simia (also with lower-case initial). Also: the (former) genus itself.The genus originally comprised all primates other than humans, one species of ape (probably the orangutan or chimpanzee), and lemurs, and was limited later to anthropoid apes and finally to the orangutan.
