     قال س: وهي الجِرّيِّ، وهو حوت طويل له خرطوم ساطٍ أملس بلا أسفاط يكون في نيل مصر، ويقول العامّة إنّه السلباح وذلك خطأ، والشيعة لا تأكل الجرّيّ وكذلك اليهود، وهو سماريس.

     S says: It is the slime-eel, and it is a long fish with an elongate snout, smooth without scales, living in Egypt’s Nile. People say it to be the eel, but this is false. Shiites eat the slime-eel not, neither do the Jews. It is also the picarel (σμαρίς).
