In LS, "dog-throttler". One must kill or at least silence the
watchdog to steal the cattle -- Herakles kills the watchdog when
he goes to take the cattle of Geryon. Hermes Argeiphontes lulls
the guard Argos (perhaps a dog? -- Odyssseus' dog was called
Argos) to sleep before he kills him. Kandaules also the name of
a king of Lydia according to Herodotus.
