Reading edition
Fumosæ cum pede pernæ, Hor. Petaso and perna appear, from Athenæus, to have been synonymous, πετασῶνος, ἣν πέρναν καλοῦσι (l. 14. c. 21.). Perna was perhaps more particularly the ham, and petaso every part of the hog similarly cured. Laridum or lardum was the fat part of the bacon. Menapica was the ham of Westphalia, Ceritana that of the Cerdagne in the Pyrenees, the excellence of which is attested by Strabo (p. 162).
