The fish, and in it are water dogs, which are in the form of colored dogs. And in it is the hippopotamus, which is in the form of a horse but is delicate, and its hooves are like the legs of a cow. They contract when it lifts them and expand when it places them. It has a long tail. And in it also is the *sagnur*, which is a type of crocodile. It does not resemble a fish in terms of its hands and feet, nor does it resemble a crocodile because its tail is smooth and round, while the crocodile's tail is sword-like. Its fat is used for treating sexual intercourse, as is its salt with which it is preserved. The *sagnur* is found only in the Nile from the border of Aswan. The crocodile is also not found in any river or lake except what is in the Nile of Egypt. It has a flattened head, and the length of its head is about half the length of its body. Its tail is salty, and it has teeth that it does not bare at any wild animal or at people, unless it passes by it in the water. It is also found on land because it comes out to the land and stays there for a day and a night, crawling on its hands and feet. It is found on land, but its harm is little. Most of its harm is in the water. Then God Almighty has subjected to it an animal from the Nile creatures called the *lashnak*. It follows it and ambushes it until it opens its mouth. When it opens its mouth, it enters its throat and continues to eat its liver and entrails until it is satisfied, then it dies. Also coming out to the Nile from the sea is a fish called the *buri*, which is beautiful in color, like a ostrich egg in size. The weight of one of these fish is two pounds. Its homeland is Arshil. Also entering the Nile from the sea is a fish called the *shabul*, which is a cubit long and more. It is delicious in taste, beautiful in color, and fatty. Also coming from it is a large fish called *ham'ah*.
