There is a region moreover in Arabia, situated nearly over against the city of Buto, to which place I came toinquire about the winged serpents: and when I came thither I saw bonesof serpents and spines in quantity so great that it is impossible tomake report of the number, and there were heaps of spines, some heapslarge and others less large and others smaller still than these, andthese heaps were many in number. This region in which the spines arescattered upon the ground is of the nature of a...n entrance from a narrowmountain pass to a great plain, which plain adjoins the plain in Egypt;and the story goes that at the beginning of spring winged serpents fromArabia fly towards Egypt, and the birds called ibises meet them at theentrance to this country and do not suffer the serpents to go by butkill them. On account of this deed it is (say the Arabians) that theibis has come to be greatly honoured by the Egyptians, and the Egyptiansalso agree that it is for this reason that they honour these birds.
