Annotationes in Cap. 3.
1 CAstor, ab extremis amnium fibris, in
quibus degit, Fiber latinè dicitur &
Graecè 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 quasi 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 quod ventrem
magnum habeat, vt Etymologici tradunt. Hoc
animal est ex ijs quae Graeci 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 vel 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 vo∣cant,
admodum simile lutrae, nisi quòd cauda pis∣cis
sit, vt refert Plinius lib. 8. capitulo 30.
descriptionPage 182
cui mollior pluma pilus est. Effossis in ripa cunicu∣lis
caudam intra aquas tenet, reliquo corpore in
sicco habitat. Castor vt tradit Albertus Mag∣nus,
pedes posteriores anserinos habet quibus fa∣ciliùs
natet, anteriores vero caninos. Hic compre∣hensa
hominis parte, non ante quam fracta concre∣puerint
ossa, morsum resoluit. Huius generis ani∣malium
gregatim in Ponto reperiuntur quamplu∣rimi:
vnde Castor canis Ponticus à quibusdam
vocatur, & Castorium Ponticum optimum ducunt
medici. Hodie nullus Castor in Cambria reperitur,
nec quale sit animal vulgus cognoscit. Vide Dios∣corid.
& Plinium.
