19 Timae|           In the likeness of what animal did the Creator make the
20 Timae|        beings, framed one visible animal comprehending within itself
21 Timae|        solitary, like the perfect animal, the creator made not two
22 Timae|         the first place, that the animal should be as far as possible
23 Timae|          also natural. Now to the animal which was to comprehend

26 Timae|         thought that this created animal ought to have species of
27 Timae|         not contain every kind of animal which it ought to contain,
28 Timae|           and to pilot the mortal animal in the best and wisest manner
