1Hieroglyphics of Horapollo, tr. Alexander Turner Cory, [1840], at sacred-texts.com
To denote a thing unlawful, or an abomination, they delineate a FISH, because the feeding upon fish is considered in the sacred rites as abominable, and a pollution: for every fish is an animal that is a desolator [laxative as food?], and a devourer of its own species.
