Hieroglyphics of Horapollo: Book II.: CIX. How a Man Addicted to Gluttony
Hieroglyphics of Horapollo, tr. Alexander Turner Cory, [1840]
When they would symbolise a man addicted to gluttony, they delineate A CHARFISH;
for this is the only fish which ruminates, and eats all the little fishes which fall in its way.
