Ἡ δὲ κάμηλος κύει μὲν δέκα μῆνας, τίκτει δ’ ἀεὶ ἓν μόνον· μονοτόκον γάρ ἐστιν. Ἐκκρίνουσι δ’ ἐκ τῶν καμήλων ἐνιαύσιον τὸ ἔκγονον. Ζῇ δὲ χρόνον πολύν, πλείω ἢ πεντήκοντα ἔτη. Τίκτει δὲ τοῦ ἔαρος, καὶ γάλα ἔχει μέχρι οὖ ἂν ἐν γαστρὶ λάβῃ. Ἔχει δὲ καὶ τὰ κρέα καὶ τὸ γάλα ἥδιστα πάντων· πίνουσι δὲ τὸ γάλα δύο καὶ ἕνα ἢ τρία καὶ ἕνα πρὸς ὕδωρ κεράσαντες.
