Πέντε ζῴων προσφερομένων ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, τριῶν μὲν χερσαίων πτηνῶν δὲ δύο, ἄξιόν μοι ζητεῖν φαίνεται τί δήποτε ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ὁ σωτὴρ »ἀμνὸς« λέγεται καὶ οὐδὲν τῶν λοιπῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν χερσαίων καθ’ ἕκαστον τριῶν ἡλικιῶν προσαγομένων, ἀπὸ τοῦ γένους τῶν προβάτων τὸν ἀμνὸν ὠνόμασεν· πέντε δὲ ζῷα ταῦτά ἐστιν· μόσχος, πρόβατον, αἴξ, τρυγών, περιστερά.
