CYNOCEPHALI
populi Indiae in montibus degentes, quos capita cavina habere fabulatur Plin. l. 7. c. 2. Vide Gell. l. 9. c. 4. De illis Solin. c. 52. Megasthenes per diversos Indiae montes esse seribit, nationes caninis capitibus, armatas unguibus, amictas vestitu tergorum; ad sermonem humanum nulla voce, sed latratibus tantum sonantes, asperis rictibus: an ritibus? Η῾μἰκυνες, Apollonio dicuntur. Fabulae occasio, quod populi illi ancupiô et venatu solô vesci consueverint, ut intra, dicemus in Cynopenae; unde asperi iis ritus, nec dispar habitus; ut qui pellibus ferarum indui in more haberent. Ciesias vero non ipsis pellibus ferarum villosis amiciri eos tradit, sed alutâ vel pelle tenuissimâ confectâ, cui pili dempti: τὴν δὲ ἐςθῆτα ἒχουσιν οὐ δασεῖαν, ἀλλὰ ψιλῶν τῶ μαςθλημάτων ὡς λεπτοτάτων. Ubi μαςθ λήματα sunt alutae, vel pelles confectae, quibus tergus opponitur, utpore corium ἀδέψητον. Salmas. ad Solin. p. 1005 et 1006. Sed et Nortmanni a Gallis olim contumehosô Cynocephalorum nomine insigniti leguntur, ut infra videbimus voce Nortmanni.
