How They Denote an Imperfect Man
To denote an imperfect man, they delineate a FROG, because it is generated from the slime of the river, whence it occasionally happens that it is seen with one part of a frog, and the remainder formed of slime, so that should the river fall, the animal would be left imperfect.
