(and if the figure of the idol has another image different from that of a man, if it was of a ram, let's then say that the evil spirit comes and enters in it and speaks: what could the spirit do but bleat as a ram bleats? Certainly not other thing. And if the image was that of a billy goat he would only bleat, and if it was of a bull, he would moo or low; and if it was that of a stork, he would clash the beak and do that characteristic sound that the storks do, as of tablets) [c. 1300, R.
