Genera cochlearum sunt plura, ut minutae albulae, quae afferuntur e Reatino, et maximae, quae de Illyrico apportantur, et mediocres, quae ex Africa afferuntur; non quo non in his regionibus quibusdam locis ac magnitudinibus sint disperiles; nam et valde amplae sunt ex Africa, quae vocantur solitannae, ita ut in eas LXXX quadrantes coici possint, et sic in aliis regionibus eaedem inter se collatae minores ac maiores.
There are several varieties of snails, such as the small whites, which come from Reate, the large-sized, which are brought from Illyricum, and the medium-sized, which come from Africa. Not that they do not vary in these regions in distribution and size; thus, very large ones do come from Africa'the so-called solitannae'so large that 80 quadrantes can be put into their shells; and so in other countries the same species are relatively larger or smaller.
