[p.284 Fr.] Εἶδος δειλοῦ ἐστιν οὕτως· τρίχες αὐτοῦ μαλακαί, τὸ πᾶν σχῆμα ἀνειμένον, τράχηλος μακρός, τὸ χρῶμα μέλαν ἢ ὠχρόν, τὰ ὄμματα ταραχώδη, βλέφαρα ταχυ- κίνητα, τῷ δὲ τῆς ἀναπνοῆς φυσήματι ἀσθενής, σκέλη λεπτά, ὀσφὺς μακρά, στέρνα ἀσθενῆ, χεῖρες μακραί, φωνὴ λιγυρὰ μαλακή. ταῦτα ὑπάρχουσι σημεῖα δειλοῦ.
