- Sed nūllum usquam execrābilius quam radius super caudam ēminēns trȳgōnis, quam nostrī pastinācam appellant, quīncunciālī magnitūdine: arborēs īnfīxus rādīcī necat, arma ut tēlum perforat vī ferrī et venēnī malō.
- But nothing anywhere is as detestable as the spine projecting above the tail of the sting ray, called by us 'parsnip', of five twelfths of a foot in size: it kills trees when driven to the root, punctures weapons like a sword with the force of iron and the evilness of venom.
- Sed nūllum usquam execrābilius quam radius super caudam ēminēns trȳgōnis, quam nostrī pastinācam appellant, quīncunciālī magnitūdine: arborēs īnfīxus rādīcī necat, arma ut tēlum perforat vī ferrī et venēnī malō.
