Translation
In reference to flying birds, the sinewy cavity above the stomach is called a prolobos -- like a skin, into which the undigested food [sc. goes and] remains.1 It also exists in all cocks, and by some it is called a bellows.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πρόλοβος· ἐπὶ τῶν πτητικῶν ὀρνέων λέγεται πρόλοβος ὁ μετὰ τὸν στόμαχον κόλπος νευρώδης, ὅμοιος σκύτει, εἰς ὃν ἡ τροφὴ ἀκατέργαστος μένει· ὃ καὶ τοῖς ἀλεκτρυόσι πᾶσιν ἔνεστιν· ὃ καὶ ὑπ' ἐνίων καλεῖται φῦσα.

Notes (1)
- The headword prolobos is a masculine noun in the nominative singular; see generally LSJ s.v.
In her critical apparatus Adler reports that ms F replaced the headword bypro/bolos , projection; see further, next note. - 1cf. Aristotle, History of Animals 508b26. Suda mss AFV give 'is called a
pro/bolos ', projection (so Adler), which is an anagram of the present headword, but apparently otherwise unrelated; see pi 2351 and the note there. ↩
