<< ust as a qualifier on the quality of this reference, it really should
 be noted that Platina is quoting Varro (presumably the real,
 classical-age Varro, not one of his friends' pseudonyms), who claims to
 have seen the pig in question in Arcadia. Therefore, what we have is a
 secondary account of a report by a Roman author reporting on something
 he claims to have seen in a Greek province. >>

Point taken. Thank-you.
