2. 23. Hcnv wonderful the variety of the beasts!
3. 6. ἀτίθασσα] or ἀτίθασα, ἵκοι disposed to be tamed'; ἐλεύθερα, cp. Job xxxix 5.
4. 17. Φιλόχωρα] ‘attached to a place'; it seems an imperfect antithesis to ἀμφίβια, but prob. Gr. means that the latter class are so little attached to a place that they are indifferent even to an element.
5. 18. φιλόκαλα] Gr. seems to be anticipating what he says in § 24 about the peacock; it would not be easy to point to a quadruped which is markedly φιλόκαλον unless Gr. refers to such things as the way in which a cat washes itself. Isocrates advises a man to be φιλόκαλος in regard to his dress, but not καλλωπιστής, which he says would be περίεργον. Ἀκαλ- λώπ. cannot mean ‘unadorned, which would be no antithesis to Φιλόκ., but ‘not given to adorning themselves.’
