E quis qui iam puri sunt ad sacrificium, ut immolentur, olim appellati sacres, quos appellat Plautus cum ait quanti sunt porci sacres? Sic boves altiles ad sacrificia publica saginati dicuntur opimi.
Those of the last named which are pure for sacrifice and may be offered up, used to be called sacres; Plautus uses the term in his sentence: Whats the price of sacred pigs? Similarly, oxen, fattened for public offerings, are called opimi, fat-lings.
