  • τρίχεσ δὲ ἄλλοισι μὲν ζῳοίσι φύσι ἠδὲ καὶ χαῖται· ἐλέφαντι δὲ τόδε ἐστὶ ὁ χνοῦσ· μυρίαι δὲ καὶ ἄλλαι παραλλαγαὶ πρὸσ τὰ ἀλλὰ ζῷα· καὶ γὰρ ὀπίσω κοτὲ κατὰ γόνυ κάμπτει, ὅκωσ ἄνθρωποσ, καὶ μαζὸν πρὸσ τῇσι μασχάλῃσι ἴσχει ὅκωσ γυναῖκεσ· ἀλλ’ οὔτι μοι χρέοσ τανῦν ἀμφὶ τοῦ ζῳού γράφειν, πλὴν ὁκόσον ἔξαλλόν τι καὶ ἡ νοῦσοσ ὁ ἐλέφασ καὶ ὁκόσα ἴκελα ἡ ἰδέη τοῦ νοσοῦντοσ ἴσχει τῇ τοῦ ζῳού φυῇ· ἐκίκλησκον δὲ καὶ λέοντα τὸ πάθοσ, τοῦ ἐπισκυνίου τῆσ ὁμοιότητοσ εἵνεκεν, ἣν ὕστερον φράσω· ἠδὲ σατυρίησιν τῶν τε μήλων τοῦ ἐρυθήματοσ καὶ τῆσ ἐσ συνουσίην ὁρμῆσ ἀσχέτουτε καὶ ἀναισχύντου.
