LEMNIAE
, Homines monstrosi et fabulosi quos sic describit Isidorus lib. 11. Orig. cap. 2 : Lemnias in Libya credunt truncos sine capite nasci, et os et oculos habere in pectore ; alios sine cervicibus gigni, oculos habere in humeris. Odo de varia Ernesti Bavariæ Ducis fortuna, tom. 3. Anecd. Marten. col. 362. Sunt alii setis hirci, mirabile dictu, Non caput est, nec vultus eis, humerisque retrusi Ignescunt oculi, parvum pro nare foramen Pectus habet, rictusque loco parvissimus oris ; Lempnias appellant ; crudis de more tomallis Vescuntur, salsaque maris potantur ab unda.
