- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- Concerning the Fox Physiologus says that this animal is in all respects insidious and perfidious. When it gets hungry and does not find any prey to hunt and to eat, it goes and finds a muddy place or wherever there is chaff, and rolls over the ashes and falls on its back in a field and does not look upwards and holds its breath and swells thoroughly.
