Necdum etiam decerno quid vocem, nisi quaeram sane accuratius, quod nec apud veteres philosophos proprietatem eius piscis reperio, quamquam sit omnium rarissima et hercule memoranda; quippe solus ille, quantum sciam, cum sit cetera exossis, duodecim numero ossa ad similitudinem talorum suillorum in uentre eius conexa et catenata sunt.
Even to this day indeed, I cannot make out what to call it, at least without more research, since I find that not even the ancient philosophers described the properties of this particular fish, though it is especially rare and certainly very remarkable. For this is the only fish, so far as I know, which though otherwise boneless has twelve bones in its stomach, conjoined and interlinked so as to resemble the knucklebones of a pig.
