But the
Arabians, Phrygians, and Cilicians, being chiefly
engaged in the rearing of cattle, are constantly
wandering over the plains and mountains in winter
and summer and, on that account, have found it
quite easy to study the songs and flights of birds.
The same is true of the Pisidians and of our fellowcountrymen, the Umbrians. While the Carians,
and especially the Telmessians, already mentioned,
because they live in a country with a very rich and
prolific soil, whose fertility produces many abnormal
growths, have turned their attention to the study
of prodigies.
