    AVIS, VOLUCER

    47. Inter Avem et volucrem. Aves dicimus quae per aera levibus [ Al., levius] volitant pinnis [ Al., pennis], volucres autem non solum aves vocamus, sed quadrupedes nimia pernicitate currentes, sed [col. 16A] tamen cum adjectione, ut puta volucrem equum, volucrem tigridem. Ut est illud Pacuvii: Volucri currit axe quadriga. Nam [ Al., sed] et sagittae volucres dicuntur, quod his pinnae [ Al., pennae] conglutinantur. Nam sine adjectione tantum alitem sonat.
