[75] καὶ ἀκούομεν δὲ τῶν κυνῶν ἄλλην μὲν φωνὴν προϊεμένων ὅταν ἀμύνωνταί τινας, ἄλλην δὲ ὅταν
ὠρύωνται, καὶ ἄλλην ὅταν τύπτωνται, καὶ διάφορον ἐπὰν σαίνωσιν. καὶ ὅλως εἰ τις εἰς τοῦτο ἀτενίσειεν, εὖροι ἂν πολλὴν παραλλαγὴν τῆς φωνῆς παρὰ τούτῳ τε καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ζῴοις ἐν ταῖς διαφόροις περιστάσεσιν, ὥστε διὰ
ταῦτα εἰκότως λέγοιτ’ ἂν καὶ τοῦ προφορικοῦ μετέχειν γου τὰ καλούμενα ἄλογα ζῷα.

[75] Moreover, we hear dogs uttering one sound when they are driving people off, another when they are howling, and one sound when beaten, and a quite different sound when fawning. And so in general, in the case of all other animals as well as the dog, whoever examines the matter carefully will find a great variety of utterance according to the different circumstances, so that, in consequence, the so-called irrational animals may justly be said to participate in external reason.
