^ loc. corrupt, monet Piatt, quia duo spermata cadunt in 

 matricem, et prius cadit unum spertna et perniansit et Twn 

 exivit {et non egredientein habet Gul. vers.), deinde con-

 et sic, etc. S. 



* seclusi. locum sensu carere monet Piatt, pro dei Aldus 

 habet dt^etAe. credo haec de avibus dicta ex adnot. quae 

 ad 770 a 9 seqq., al. locc, spectaverit irrepsisse; conferas
