The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 6 (of 6)

Note 460 — BOOK XXXII.1 REMEDIES DERIVED FROM AQUATIC ANIMALS. (continued 2)

John Bostock translation

See B. ix. c. 18, 20. Holland says, “Some take ‘thynni’ for the milters and ‘thynnides’ for the spawners.” In this translation, however, he identifies the “thynnides” with the “pelamides,” or young tunnies, mentioned in this Chapter and in B. ix. c. 18.
