[12] Talibus autem maribus quinae singulis feminae comparantur.¹Nam Rhodii generis aut Medici propter gravitatem neque patres nimis salaces, nee fecundae matres: quae tamen ternae singulis maritantur. Et cum pauca ova posuerunt, inertes ad incubandum, multoque magis ad excludendum, ²³⁴⁵⁶⁷ raro fetus suos educant. Itaque quibus cordi est ea genera propter corporum speciem possidere, cum exceperunt ova generosarum, vulgaribus gallinis subiciunt, ut ab his exclusi ⁸pulli nutriantur.
