     • 1938 translation by Roland G. Kent

       Succidia ‘leg of pork’ is said from sues caedendae ‘the cutting up of the swine’; for this was the first domestic animal that the owners began to slaughter and to salt in order to keep the meat unspoiled.

       Why, are there not many such items in the book of the renowned Cato, which he published on the subject of agriculture, such as his recipes for placenta, for libum, and for the salting of hams?
