Quae stella appellatur,
adeo calida est natura sua,
vt quicquid assumserit,
si statim eximatur,
discoctum reperiatur.
Aiunt autem ab hac peste Pyrrhaeorum Euripum magnopere incommodari.
Facies eius stellas pictas repraesentat.

CHAPITRE XIII. [548b]
Le coquillage appelé l'Étoile est naturellement si chaud
que tout ce qu'il prend est brûlé,
du moment qu'il le touche.
On assure que la destruction ainsi causée par cet animal,
est surtout remarquable dans l'Euripe des Pyrrhéens;
sa forme ressemble aux dessins qu'on fait des étoiles.

The nature of the aster 1 is so hot,
that if it is captured immediately after swallowing anything,
its food is found digested;
and they say that it is very troublesome in the Pyrrhaæan Euripus.
Its form is like the paintings of a star.

Book V.15
The star-fish is naturally so warm
that whatever it lays hold of is found,
when suddenly taken away from the animal,
to have undergone a process like boiling.
Fisher- men say that the star-fish is a great pest in the Strait of Pyrrha.
In shape it resembles a star as seen in an ordinary drawing.
