Κάλαμοι ἰξευτικοὶ καὶ ἰξὸς τοὺς ἀποδήμους ἐπανάγουσι καὶ τοὺς δραπέτας εὑρίσκουσι καὶ τὰ ἀπολωλότα σώζουσι καὶ τὰ προσδοκώμενα τελειοῦσιν, ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντα· τὰ μὲν γὰρ μακρόθεν καὶ διεστῶτα πρὸς τὸν χρώμενον ἄγουσι, τοῦτʼ ἔστι πρὸς τὸν ἰξεύοντα, ἔνια δὲ τοὺς καλάμους καὶ διαφεύγει. αἱ δὲ λεγόμεναι νεφέλαι καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα πλεκτά ἐστι πρὸς θήραν ὀρνέων πεποιημένα τὸν αὐτὸν ἔχει λόγον ταῖς σαγήναις καὶ τοῖς δικτύοις. Ἑξῆς δὲ ἀκολουθεῖ τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ περὶ ζῴων ἀεροπόρων εἰπεῖν.
