Translation

[Meaning] the thick intestines of oxen. These they do not sacrifice, as [they do] the rest of the body. But some say xo/lika (sic) [are] a type of fish.¹
[The word] xo/lic is feminine.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Χόλικες· τὰ παχέα ἔντερα τῶν βοῶν. ταῦτα δὲ οὐχ ἱεροῦντο, ὡς τὸ ἄλλο σῶμα. τινὲς δὲ χόλικα φασὶν εἶδος ἰχθύος. θηλυκῶς δὲ ἡ Χόλιξ.
