Ἔστι δὲ καὶ πάρδαλος. Τοῦτο δὲ τὸ ὄρνεόν ἐστιν ἀγελαῖον ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι κατὰ ἕνα ἰδεῖν· τὸ δὲ χρῶμα σποδοειδὴς ὅλος, μέγεθος δὲ παραπλήσιος ἐκείνοις, εὔπους δὲ καὶ οὐ κακόπτερος, φωνὴ δὲ πολλὴ καὶ οὐ βαρεῖα. Κολλυρίων δὲ τὰ αὐτὰ ἐσθίει τῷ κοττύφῳ· τὸ δὲ μέγεθος καὶ τούτου ταὐτὸν τοῖς πρότερον· ἁλίσκεται δὲ κατὰ χειμῶνα μάλιστα. Ταῦτα δὲ πάντα διὰ παντὸς φανερά ἐστιν. Ἔτι δὲ τὰ κατὰ πόλεις εἰωθότα μάλιστα ζῆν, κόραξ καὶ κορώνη· καὶ γὰρ ταῦτ’ ἀεὶ φανερά, καὶ οὐ μεταβάλλει τοὺς τόπους οὐδὲ φωλεύει.
