(357) Ἀκούω δὲ ἐν τῇ Θηβαΐδι χαλάζης πεσοόσης ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὁρᾶσθαι μῦς, ὧν τὸ μὲν πηλός ἐστιν ἔτι, τὸ δὲ σὰρξ ἤδη. (358) Τοῦ αὸτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ πλάτους. Ἐν τῇ Πάρῳ τῇ νήσῳ Ἀριστοτέλης λέγει μῦς εἶναι· καὶ μέντοι καὶ τὴν γῆν σιτεῖσθαι τὴν σιδηρῖτιν. Ἀμύντας δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἐν Uερηδόνι (γῆ δ’ ἐστὶν αὕτη τῆς Βαβυλωνίας) τὴν αὐτὴν τροφὴν προσφέρεσθαι λέγει.
