[Meaning he/she/it] evacuated its dung. Aristophanes [writes]: "but this guy emptied out such a great amount of charcoal on me, like a cuttlefish."1 For cuttlefish, when they are being hunted, discharge out of the sac that is attached to them, wishing to muddy the place around them, so that they are not clearly visible to those chasing them.
