“Memoriae proditum est, Avenione anno salutis humanae 1543 ex simili concubitu editum esse monstrum humano quidem capite praeditum, sed auriculis, collo, brachiis, manibus, ueretro, partibusque; aliis quibusdam caninis; puerperam uero fassam esse, se a cane initam, ideoque; mox Pridie Cal. Aug., iussu Francisci Gallorum Regis una cum cane amasio, uindicibus flammis facinus expiasse. Multa etiam alia non absimila feruntur.”
