horcaxada. Tiene escamas gruesas. Es de color amarillo, de la color de la flor de la calabaza. Tiene unas manchas negras como las del tigre. Los eslabones tiene pardillos y duros. Silba esta serpiente. Come conejos y liebres y aves. Come cualesquier aves o animales, y aunque tiene dientes, no los masca, sino trágalos, y allá dentro los dixiere o desmuele. Si alguna ave topa, trágasela entera. Y si están encima de algún árbol, arrójelos la ponzoña con que los hace cayer muertos.
\nUn cazador vio la manera que tiene cazar las aves o animales que están encima los árboles, como aquí escrito en la letra.
