I'm a bit amid things presently so I don't have time to type
anything up, but you can always look at Bartholomaeus Anglicus _De
proprietatibus rerum_ 18.10 (p. 1009 in the Minerva 1964 reprint of the
1601 print), which comes out to 18.11 in Trevisa's translation into
Middle English (p. 1136 ff. in the Seymour et al. edition). If that
works nicely for you, an aide to running down the sources is
_Bartholomaeus Anglicus and His Encyclopedia_, keyed to the Trevisa text.
