Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Erythini et channae volvas habere traduntur; qui trochos appellatur a Graecis, ipse se inire. fetus omnium aquatilium inter initia visu carent.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

The fishes called the erythinus and the channe are said to have a womb; and those which by the Greeks are called trochi, it is said, impregnate themselves. The young of all aquatic animals are without sight at their birth.
