 citations from the original in Pagenstecher, 1861, p. 3, which we translate as 

 follows : p. 282 "there is an animal (occurring) at the same season (summer 1 , 



living on blood, with its head always fixed, and swelling; (being)- 1' the 



animals which has no (anus) exit for its food, it hursts with over repletion and 

 dies from its actual nourishment. This (animal) never occurs on mules, fit 

 frequent on cattle, (it occurs) sometimes on dogs, on which ;ill kinds of lice 

 are found ; on sheep and goats the one only (is found)." In Vol. iv. xxviii. 2.")';, 

 p. 239 : "if a woman's loins are smeared with the blood of a tick taken from ■> 

 black wild bull, Osthunes says she cares no more for sexual intercourse.") 



/bid., xxx. 82, p. 404, seers attach much importance to this "most disgusting 

 animal, since it has no exit to its gut nor is there any limit to its capacity for 

 living long without food." The gorged tick bursts after some days through 

 satiety; "when tied to the left ear of a dog they calm all its pains. They use 

 it in auguries from the vitals, for if the sick man gives an answer to the seer 

 who has brought it, asking about his disease, there is a certain hope of life," etc.

 p. 419 : "The blood of a healthy pulled-out tick is said to act as a depilatory."
