ὁ ἐρωδιὸς τὰ ὄστρεα ἐσθίειν δεινός ἐστι, καὶ μεμυκότα αὐτὰ καταπίνει, ὥσπερ οὖν οἱ πελεκᾶνες τὰς κόγχας. καὶ ἐν τῷ καλουμένῳ πρηγορεῶνι ὑποθερμαίνων ὁ ἐρωδιὸς φυλάττει τὰ ὄστρεα: τὰ δὲ ὑπὸ τῆς ἀλέας διίσταται, καὶ ἐκεῖνος αἰσθανόμενος τὰ μὲν ὄστρακα ἀνεμεῖ, φυλάττει δὲ τὴν σάρκα, καὶ ἔχει τροφὴν ἀναλίσκων τῇ τῆς πέψεως δυνάμει τὸ ἔσω παρελθὸν ὁλόκληρον.
