ἢ καὶ ἀπὸ σπληδοῖο: ἢ καὶ ἀπὸ σποδοῦ φαίνεται τὰ πτερά, ὅστις αὐτῶν ἅψηται. σποδώδη γὰρ τῷ ὄντι εἰσὶ τὰ πτερὰ τοῦ κανδηλοσβέστου· ταὐτὸν δὲ εἰπεῖν τὰς νῦν ψώρας εἴτ’ οὖν φαλαίνας. τοῦτο οὖν, φησι, τὸ ζῷον τῇ φαλαίνῃ ὅμοιον, ὁ κεφαλοκρούστης, ἐν τοῖς φύλλοις τῆς περσείας τρέφεται. ἔχει δὲ ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ κέντρον καὶ πτερὰ τέσσαρα. Ἄλλως. σποδοῦ χροιὰν ἔχει τὰ πτερά, οἵαν οἱ ἀπὸ κόνεως μεμολυσμένοι ἴσχουσιν. ὁ κρανοκολάπτης δὲ ἐν ταῖς περσείαις ὁρᾶται πτερὰ ἔχων ὅμοια τοῖς ἐν τοῖς κήποις ψυχαῖς. τὸ κέντρον δὲ ἔχει ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς καὶ τῷ αὐχένι κρύπτει.
