Translation
['Piglets'] and 'suckling-pig': [meaning] big porkers, though some [sc. say] the small ones also. Homer [writes]: "eat now, o stranger, the pork that is available to slaves; the very fattened hogs that the suitors eat."1
They smash the head of a male piglet with a rock when they pray.2
"Well, it's young, but it will grow up to pighood big and with a decent bit of tail."2
