Ὁμοίως δʼ ἔχει καὶ περὶ νεφρῶν. οὐδὲ γὰρ νεφροὺς 9 φρσὺς οὔτε τῶν πτερωτῶν καὶ λεπιδωτῶν οὐδὲν ἔχει οὕτε τῶν φολιδωτῶν, πλὴν αἱ θαλάττιαι χελῶναι καὶ αἱ χερσαῖαι· ἀλλʼ ὡς τῆς εἰς τοὺς νεφροὺς τεταγμένης σαρκὸς οὐκ ἐχούσης χήραν ἀλλὰ διεσπαρμένης εἰς πολλά. πλατέα νεφροειδῆ ἐν ἐνίοις τῶν ὁρνίθων ἐστίν. ἡ δʼ ἑμὺς οὔτε κύστιν οὕτε νεφροὺς ἔχει· διὰ τὴν μαλακὸτητα γὰρ τοῦ χελωνίου εὐδιάπνουν γίνεται ὸ ὑγρόν.
