Est et eale, ut equus cetera, cauda vero elephanti, nigro colore, maxillis aprugnis, præferens cornua ultra cubitalem modum longa, ad obsequium cujus velit motus accommodata: neque enim rigent, sed moventur, ut usus exigit prúliandi; quorum alterum quo cum pugnat, protendit, alterum replicat, ut si nisu aliquo fuerit alterius acumen obtusum, acies succedat alterius. Hippopotamis comparatur; et ipsa sane aquis fluminum gaudet.

There is also the eale. Otherwise like the horse, it has a tail like an elephant, is black in colour, and has jaws like a boar. In front it carries horns over a cubit long. These are serviceable for use in what movement it wishes, for they are not rigid, but can be moved, as need requires, for fighting. When it fights, it extends one horn; the other it folds back, so, if the sharpened point of one is spoiled by some blow, the prong of the other succeeds it. It has been compared to the hippopotamus, and indeed, it rejoices in the water of streams.
