Book IX, 430

This sheep is a native of Agarra, where the feltcapped Armenians drink the water of Araxes. Its fleece is not, like a sheep’s, composed of soft wool, but thin-haired and rougher than a wild goat’s. Every year it bears triplets, and the teats of its udders are always full of milk. Its bleating resembles most the lowing of a tender calf, for diverse lands bear all things different.
