Translation
In Egypt, so they say, it spoke with a human voice. It was found to have on its head a royal snake with wings above its head, 4 cubits1 in length, and it spoke to someone about the future.

Ἀρνίον σοι λελάληκεν· ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, ὥς φασιν, ἀνθρωπείᾳ φωνῇ ἐλάλησεν. εὑρέθη δὲ ἔχον ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ βασίλειον δράκοντα ὑπὲρ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ πτερωτὸν, ἔχοντα μῆκος πήχεων δʹ, καί τινι λελάληκε τὰ μέλλοντα.
