[324] Quatuor quoque pedibus erat nata haec Gallina unicolor, toto nempe corpore colore quodammodo {ferruginei} <ferrugineo>. Pedes autem habebat luteos.

This single-colored hen was born with four legs too, and precisely she was in some way rusty throughout the whole body. But she had yellow legs.

Gallina quadrupes cum Siligine spica mutica.

Four-legged hen with ear un-bearded wheat.
