Ἡ δὲ τῶν ἐλεφάντων ἱστορία, φίλε, τῶν εἰς τὰ ὀρύγματα φορούντων καὶ τὸν ὀλισθέντα διὰ χώματος ἀναβιβαζόντων, ἔκτοπός ἐστι δεινῶς καὶ ἀλλοδαπὴ, καὶ καθάπερ ἐκ βασιλικοῦ διαγράμματος ἐπιτάττουσα πιστεύειν αὐτῇ τῶν Ἰόβα βιβλίων· ἀληθὴς δ ̓ οὖσα, πολλὰ δείκνυσι τῶν ἐνάλων μηδὲν ἀπολειπόμενα τῷ κοινωνικῷ καὶ συνετῷ τοῦ σοφωτάτου τῶν· χερσαίων.
