In its nest the griffin lays the agate for its help and medicine. It is hostile to men and horses : it has long claws, which are made into goblets ; they are as big as ox-horns, as indeed the creature itself is bigger than eight lions ; of its feathers are made strong bows, arrows, and lances. 3 With regard to thi...s description, it is to be observed that the horns, cut in slices, are really used for plating bows ; 4 but the bird's quills, as they are still considered to be in the country where they are found, are the leg-bones of other animals. 5 The rhinoceros horns, supposed to be griffins' claws, were mounted in gold and silver in Europe 1 Herod., iii. 116.
