velocissimum omnium animalium, non solum marinorum, est delphinus, ocior volucre, acrior telo, ac nisi multum infra rostrum os illi foret medio paene in ventre, nullus piscium celeritatem eius evaderet. sed adfert moram providentia naturae, quia nisi resupini atque conversi non corripiunt, quae causa praecipue velocitatem eorum ostendit. nam cum fame conciti fugientem in vada ima persecuti piscem diutius spiritum continuere, ut arcu missi ad respirandum emicant tantaque vi exiliunt, ut plerumque vela navium transvolent. vagantur fere coniugia; pariunt
catulos decimo mense aestivo tempore, interim et binos. nutriunt uberibus, sicut ballaena, atque etiam gestant fetus infantia infirmos; quin et adultos diu comitantur magna erga partum caritate. adolescunt celeriter, x annis putantur ad summam magnitudinem pervenire. vivunt et tricenis, quod cognitum praecisa cauda in experimentum. abduntur tricenis diebus circa canis ortum occultanturque incognito modo, quod eo magis mirum est, si spirare in aqua non queunt. solent in terram erumpere, incerta de causa, nec statim tellure tacta moriuntur multoque ocius fistula clausa. lingua est iis contra naturam aquatilium mobilis, brevis atque lata, haut differens suillae. pro voce gemitus humano similis, dorsum repandum, rostrum simum. qua de causa nomen simonis omnes miro modo agnoscunt maluntque ita appellari.
Naturalis Historia. Pliny the Elder. Karl Friedrich Theodor Mayhoff. Lipsiae. Teubner. 1906.
