νοοῦσι δὲ ἄρα ἀτταγᾶς μὲν ἀλεκτρυόνι ἔχθιστα, ἀλεκτρυὼν δὲ αὖ πάλιν ἀτταγᾶ, καὶ κορώνῃ κίρκος καὶ ἐκείνη ἐκείνῳ, καὶ πελαγίῳ ἱέρακι ὁ κόραξ καὶ κόρακι ἐκεῖνος, τρυγόνι τε κόραξ καὶ κίρκος, καὶ μέντοι καὶ ἡ τρυγὼν ἑκατέρῳ. πέπυσμαι δὲ καὶ πελαργὸν νυκτερίδα μισεῖν, καὶ ἐκείνην ἀντιμισεῖν ὡς πολέμιον, πελεκᾶνα δὲ μὴ νοεῖν φίλα ὄρτυγι. καὶ ἀμοιβὴν τοῦ μίσους ἀκούω εἶναι.
