Note 1955 — BOOK VIII. THE NATURE OF THE TERRESTRIAL ANIMALS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
“Fœdi visu.” This is very similar to the expression used by Virgil, Georg. B. iii., when describing the points of an ox, l. 52,—“oui turpi caput”—“the head of which is unsightly”— probably in allusion to its large size.
