They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

Βασιλισκου ωα επωαζουσι και ιστον αραχνης υφαινουσιν· οστις φαγη εκ των ωων αυτων, αποθνησκει· και αν σπασης κανεν, εξερχεται εχιδνα.

They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
