Cicero, De Divinatione 2.57

lat cicero phi053 perseus lat2

Democritus quidem optimis verbis causam explicat cur ante lucem galli canant; depulso enim de pectore et in omne corpus diviso et mitificato cibo cantus edere quiete satiatos; qui quidem ' silentio noctis,' ut ait Ennius, favent faucíbus russis cantu plausuque prem'int alas. cum igitur hoc animal tam sit canorum sua sponte, quid in mentem venit Callistheni dicere deos gallis signum dedisse cantandi, cum id vel natura vel casus efficere potuisset?
