The basilisk's name in Greek, translated into Latin, regulus, means 'little king'. It is so called because it is the king of crawling things, who flee when they see it, because it kills them with its scent. It will even kill a man just by looking at him.
Indeed, no bird can fly past unharmed by its gaze but, however far away, will be burnt up and devoured in its mouth.
