Name of a city.1 For the Noricians2 are a people, where a divinely-sent monster of a boar was ravaging the land, and everyone who tried to attack it achieved nothing, until a certain man, turning the pig over, put it up on his shoulders, somewhat as the story is also related about Calydon.3 And the Noricians shouted out "One man!" in their own language -- that is, [sc. in Latin] berounous [vir unus]. From this the city was called Berounion.
