The following is the original Latin of the excerpt from Scaliger (1612, p. 650; see also p. 349), quoted in translation in the text:


"Augere hanc tibi licuit historiam Hinnuli specie, qui ex Tauro, & Equa generatur. Multos vidimus, duos olim habuimus: nunc unam foemellam: cuius aures inter, ossea tubercula duo semiiuglandis magnitudine paterne frontis prae se ferunt rudimentum. Huic generi aiunt quidam superiores deesse dentes. lllud in iis vitium frequens. Quod inferior mandibula porrectior est superiore: quod in multis conspicitur piscibus. Befi dicuntur a Gabalis, & Arvernis."
