ἡ Κρήτη καὶ τοῖς λύκοις καὶ τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς θηρίοις ἐχθίστη ἐστίν. ἀκούω δὲ Θεοφράστου λέγοντος καὶ ἐν τῷ Μακεδονικῷ Ὀλύμπῳ τοῖς λύκοις ἄβατα εἶναι. αἶγες δὲ ἄρα αἱ Κεφαλληνίδες οὐ πίνουσι μηνῶν ἕξ. οἶς δὲ Βουδινὰς οὐκ ὄψει λευκάς, ὥς φασι, μελαίνας δὲ πάσας. διαφορότης δὲ ἄρα τῶν ζῴων καὶ ἰδιότης εἴη ἂν καὶ ταύτῃ· τὰ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν ἐστι δάκετα καὶ ἐνίησιν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὀδόντος φάρμακον, βλητικὰ δὲ ὅσα παίσαντα εἶτα μέντοι καὶ ἐκεῖνα τὸ τοιοῦτον κακὸν ἐνίησιν.
