Note 127 — Chapter XII · THE EAGLES[121] AND BUZZARDS[122]
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
The length of the female goshawk is said to be 22 to 26 inches: of the male 18 to 21 inches. There is in Persia a species of small eagle or hawk-eagle that always hunts in pairs and that is known to Persians by the name of Du-Barādarān or “The Two Brothers.” The Dūbarār of the author is perhaps a corruption of Du-Barādarān. In the Ḥāyatu ’l-Ḥaywān, the Arab name of the latter is said to be Zumaj, a word that occurs in old Arabic and Persian MSS. on falconry.
