nec quod isdem Indis ibidem sitis ad nascentem diem tamen in corpore color noctis est, nec quod apud illos immensi dracones cum immanibus elephantis pari periculo in mutuam perniciem concertant: quippe lubrico volumine indepti revinciunt, ut illis expedire gressum nequeuntibus vel omnino abrumpere tenacissimorum serpentium squameas pedicas necesse sit ultionem a ruina molis suae petere ac retentores suos toto corpore oblidere.
Nor do I admire the fact that those same Indians, though situated in the same region toward sunrise, even so have bodies with the color of night, nor that they have huge snakes that struggle with monstrous elephants, with equal risk to both and for their mutual destruction; for the snakes tangle the elephants in their slimy coils, so that they cannot free their feet or in any way break the scaly fetters of those tenacious serpents, but must get their revenge by bringing their own bulk down and crushing their captors with their whole bodies.
