Et memento de solis piscibus haec volumina a me conscripta, qui eorum coitu progignantur, qui ex limo coalescant, quotiens et quid anni cuiusque eorum generis feminae subent, mares suriant, quibus membris et causis discrerit natura viviparos eorum et oviparos (ita enim Latine appello quae Graeci  et ) et, ne per omnes animalium genitus pergam, deinde de differentia et victu et membris et aetatibus ceterisque plurimis scitu quidem necessariis, sed in iudicio alienis.
Remember too that these works of mine only concerned fish: which of them are engendered by coitus, which congeal from mud, how often and at what time of year the female of each species is excited and the male is aroused, by what features and for what reasons nature marks the viviparous off from the oviparous (since those are my Latin terms for what the Greeks call zootoka and ootoka). Not to go through all the creatures ways of generation, next I discussed their differences, diets, body parts, lifespans, and many other items essential for science but out of place in a courtroom.
