Note 386 — Chapter X
Reading edition
Aristotle, N. H., II. 13; Pliny, XI. 61. Another instance of the carelessness of Athenæus—induced perhaps by his omnivorous reading—is to be found in the first line of VII. 113, “The Scarus, Aristotle says, has sharp or jagged teeth,” whereas a reference to N. H., II. 13, discloses that all fish except the scarus have sharp or jagged teeth, a statement which is confirmed by Rondolet.
