The Lucius is a pike, a fish of the river with a wide mouth & sharp teeth; when the perch spies the Lucius, it turns its tail towards it & then the Lucius dare not bite the perch because of its fins, nor can the Lucius swallow the perch because of how sharp it is. The Lucius eats venemous beasts, such as toads, frogs, and the like; yet it is said that it is very wholesome for sick people. He eats fish almost as big as himself; when they are too big, he bites them in 2 pieces, and swallows one half first, then the other. He is born with a western wind.
