Botis
Botis, alibi Otis, magnus Præses & Comes, Prodit in viperæ specie
deterrima: Et siquando formam induit humanam dentes ostendit magnos
& cornua duo, manu gladium acutum portans. Dat perfecte responsa
vera de præsentius, præteritis, futuris & abstrusis. Tam amicos quam
hostes conciliat. Sexaginta imperat legionibus.

in the shape of an ouglie [lit. 'worst'] viper, and if he put on humane
shape, he sheweth great teeth, and two hornes, carrieng a sharpe sword
in his hand: he giveth answers of things present, past, and to come, and
reconcileth friends, and foes, ruling sixtie legions.
