Greek original · Adler’s text

Χοιρογρύλλιος· ὕστριξ, ἀκανθόχοιρος. τουτέστιν ἐχῖνος χερσαῖος.

Betacode

*xoirogru/llios: u(/stric, a)kanqo/xoiros. toute/stin e)xi=nos xersai=os.

[1] So also Synagoge chi93, but incorrectly. The coney or hyrax is quite a different mammal from either the porcupine or the hedgehog. For the u(/stric ('porcupine') see upsilon 692.
