These are snakes with a very large body. The Dragon. They say that the smallest variety of dragons, as one of the scientists testifies, is five cubits long, and large ones range from thirty cubits or more.
They say the dragon has two large eyes, and under its lower jaw there is a protrusion like a chin and it has large fangs.
Some say that dragons abound in the region of Nubia and in India, and the Indian dragons are larger than the Nubian ones, which are found in the countries of Asia, are up to four cubits long, and the Indian ones are those that are very large.
They say Dragons look like we said, and they have yellow and black muzzles, very wide mouths and eyebrows covering their eyes. They have scales on their necks and three fangs in each jaw.
I say We saw a creature of this kind, which had coarse hair on both sides of its neck. They say their bite causes slight pain and then burning. Male dragons are more harmful than females. I say it is certain that even outside the lands of India, large dragons are sometimes encountered.
