When they would symbolize a king who governs not all but a part of the world, they depict HALF A SERPENT. For by this creature they denote a king, and by half of it, that he is not king over all the world.

To denote a fuller, they depict the TWO FEET OF A MAN IN WATER, and they depict this from the resemblance of the work.

p. 85

hours, for during these it is apparent, and in the remaining two it is in a state of evanescence.

When they would symbolize a rapacious, or prolific, or furious man, they delineate a CROCODILE, because it is prolific [?], and fertile in offspring, and furious. For if it fails in its intention of seizing any thing it rages in anger against itself.

To express sunrise they depict the TWO EYES OF A CROCODILE,

p. 86

because of the whole body of the animal its eyes glare conspicuously from the deep.
