Λέγει δὲ ὁ Ἰόβας γενέσθαι μὲν αὐτοῦ τῷ πατρὶ πολυετῆ Αίβυν ἐλέφαντα, κατιόντα ἐκ τῶν ἄνω τοῦ γένους· καὶ Πτολεμαίῳ δὲ τῷ Φιλαδέλφῳ Αἰθίοπα, καὶ ἐκεῖνον ἐκ πολλοῦ βιώσαντα, γενέσθαι πρᾳότατον καὶ ἡμερώτατον, τὰ μὲν ἐκ τῆς πρὸς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους συντροφίας, τὰ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ γένους πωλευθέντα. Σελεύκου τε τοῦ Νικάνορος κτῆμα ᾄδει Ἰνδὸν ἐλέφαντα, καὶ μέντοι καὶ διαβιῶναι τοῦτον μέχρι τῆς τῶν Ἀντιόχων ἐπικρατείας φησίν.
