Greek original · Adler’s text
Τηλέγονος· ὄνομα κύριον. ὃς πρῶτος ἐφεῦρε τὴν οἰωνιστικήν· ὅτι οἷον, εἰ ἐν τῇ στέγῃ ἐφάνη γαλῆ ἢ καὶ ὄφις, τόδε σημαίνει.

Notes
- A faulty extract from omicroniota 163: there T. is the first writer on bird-divination (and weasels and snakes come under a different heading; cf. xi 43).
