Latine · Mayhoff 1906

cliviam quoque avem ab antiquis nominatam animadverto ignorari — quidam clamatoriam dicunt, Labeo prohibitoriam —, et apud Nigidium super appellatur avis, quae aquilarum ova frangat.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

I find also that the people of our time are ignorant what bird it was that was called by the ancients a “clivia.” Some persons say that it was a clamatory, others, again, that it was a prohibitory, bird. We also find a bird mentioned by Nigidius as the “subis,” which breaks the eggs of the eagle.
