ὁ, man-eater, i.e. tiger, described with fabulous attributes by Ctes. ap. Arist.HA501a26 (v.l. μαρτιοχώρας, μαντιχώρας), cf. Ctes.Fr.57.7, Id. ap. Paus.9.21.4 (μαρτιόρα codd.), et ap.Ael. NA4.21. (Cf. Opers. martiya- 'man', Avest. khwar- 'eat', Mod. Pers. mard-khwār 'man-eater'.)
Wikipedia EN
The manticore or mantichore (Latin: mantichora; reconstructed Old Persian: *martyahvārah; Modern Persian: مردخوار mard-khar) is a legendary creature from ancient Persian mythology, similar to the Egyptian sphinx that proliferated in Western European medieval art as well. It has the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion or a tail covered in venomous spines similar to porcupine quills. There are some accounts that the spines can be launched like arrows. It eats its victims whole, using its three rows of teeth, and leaves no bones behind.
The term "manticore" descends via Latin mantichora from Ancient Greek μαρτιχόρας (martikhórās) This in turn is a transliteration of an Old Persian compound word consisting of martīya 'man' and xuar- stem, 'to eat' (Mod. Persian: مرد; mard + خوردن; khordan); i.e., man-eater.
