In Hispania ulteriore in Lusitania sus cum esset occisus, Atilius Hispaniensis, minime mendax et multarum rerum peritus in doctrina, dicebat L. Volumnio senatori missam esse offulam cum duabus costis, quae penderet tres et viginti pondo, eiusque suis a cute ad os pedem et tres digitos fuisse.
Atilius of Spain, a thoroughly truthful man and one widely versed in a variety of subjects, used to tell the story that when a sow was killed in Lusitania, a district of Farther Spain, there was sent to the senator Lucius Volumnius a piece of the meat with two ribs attached which weighed three-and-twenty pounds; and that the meat of that sow was one foot three fingers thick from skin to bone.
