Τὸ λέων παρὰ τὸ λόω, τὸ θεωρῶ· ὀξυδερκέστατον γὰρ τὸ τὸ θηρίον ὥς φησι Μενέθων ἐν τῷ Πρὸς Ἡρόδοτον· ὅτι οὐδέποτε καύδει ὁ λέων, τοῦτο δὲ ἀπίθανον. Eustath. Ad II. Λ, 480: (Τινὲς λέγουσιν) ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ λάω, τὸ βλέπω, γίνεται ὥσπερ ὁ λέων, οὕτω καὶ ὁ λὶς, κατὰ τὸν γραμματικὸν Ὦρον, ὡς ὀξυδερκὴς, καὶ ὅτι, ὥς φησι Μανέθων ἐν τοῖς Πρὸς Ἡρόδοτον, οὐ καθεύδει ὁ λέων.
