Prevod

It is said that the kite, whose voice was once much like that of other birds, took to trying to neigh like a noble horse. But then, forgetting its own call and never quite mastering the other, it lost both, and its voice became worse than that of any other bird.

Izvirnik

Λέγεται τὸν ἰκτῖνα, φωνὴν ἔχοντα παραπλησίαν τοῖς ἄλλοις ὄρνισιν, ἐπιθέσθαι τῷ χρεμετίζειν, ὥσπερ οἱ γενναῖοι τῶν ἵππων. Εἶτα τῆς μὲν ἐπιλαθόμενον, τὸ δὲ μὴ δυνηθέντα ἑλεῖν ἱκανῶς, ἀμφοῖν στέρεσθαι, καὶ φαυλότερον τῶν ἄλλων ὀρνίθων εἶναι τὴν φωνήν.
