The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 6 (of 6)

Note 240 — BOOK XXXII.1 REMEDIES DERIVED FROM AQUATIC ANIMALS.

John Bostock translation

See B. ix. cc. 40, 67. The Bamberg MS. has here “rhine,” (the fish again mentioned in Chapter 53 of this Book) instead of “rana;” a reading which Sillig rejects. Hardouin conjectures that “raia” is the correct reading, the sea-frog having no sting or stickle in the tail.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
