 Horfes, therefore they muft be of the Monkey ox Baboon VSnd. And 

 Patifanias^ who made it his Bufinefs to enquire more particularly about 

 them, informs us they have fuch Tails, but can't fpeak, but are very Laf- 

 civious and Luftful, as they are obferved to be to this day. I will give

It appears therefore plainly that the Satyrs have Tails. But that there 

 might not the leafl: Scruple remain what fort of Animals thefe Satyrs were, 

 I fhall produce a Paflage out of (d?) Philojlorgim which is very exprefs,
