Notes The illustrated text reads "Est animal quod dicitur elephans in quo non est concupiscentia coitus. Elephantem greci a magnitudine corporis vocatum putant. Quod formam montis perferat. Grece enim mons elephio dicitur. Apud indos autem a voce barro uo catur. Unde est et vox eius barritus et dentes ebur. Rostrum autem promuscida dicitur quomodo illo pabula ori admovet et est angiu similis. Vallo munitur eburneo. Nullum"; there is illegible marginalia to the right of the text, and marginalia below reading "hic est elaphantus".
