Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Praeterea sunt genera terrae proprietatis suae, de quibus iam diximus, sed et hoc loco reddenda natura: ex Galata insula et circa Clupeam Africae scorpiones necat, Baliaris et Ebusitana serpentes.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

In addition to these, there are various other kinds of earth, endowed with peculiar properties of their own, and which have been already mentioned on former occasions. We may, however, take the present opportunity of again remarking the following properties. The earth of the island of Galata and of the vicinity of Clypea, in Africa, is fatal to scorpions; and that of the Balearic Islands and of Ebusus kills serpents.
