I think the P should be pronounced, since
i've never been tought of the opposite ( at school we study latin) and because i
can't find any mention of this particular use on my L-dictionary(mainly for this
reason, ok;-).
i also suppose that the word pteryx is greek (never
studied Greek though) and a derived form was used by Latins ( for
example the latin "Pteron" is surely derived from it[being written in the
greek form too on the dictionary], but is used in an architectural
context).
So i'd say it would be correct to pronounce
the P, but i hope someone else has something to say on this because i'm surely
not an expert.
