Many authors have made mention of the eriphia, [Note] a plant which contains a kind of beetle in its hollow stem. This
beetle is continually ascending the interior of the stalk, and as often descending, while it emits a sound like the cry of a kid; a circumstance to which the plant is indebted for its name. There is nothing in existence, they say, more beneficial to the voice.
