The camel was a usual food in Arabia, but yielding bad nourishment, as Galen notes. Divideth not the hoof, to wit, so as to have his foot cloven in two, which being expressed Leviticus 11:3, is here to be understood; otherwise the camel's hoof is divided, but it is but a small and imperfect division, as Aristotle and Pliny observe, and observation shows.
