SC - garum in Anthimus & Capitulare de villis

[Thomas Gloning]

<<... whether the word is garum or fish sauce per se >>

In one place (Anthimus #9 De porco domestico), the word is _liquamen_, a
younger word, according to André in use since the 1st century, meaning
the same as _garum_: "nam _liquamen_ ex omni parte prohibimus", 'we
forbid the use of liquamen [in preparing porcus domesticus] totally'. 
The second place, already mentioned by Adamantius too, is recipe #34
with something like _egrogarium_, according to Karl Mras a late Latin
form of "hygrogarium", 'garum with water'.

More important seems a passage in the Capitulare de Villis (about 800),
where is stated that garum (and other stuff) must be produced
_carefully_, _diligently_:

"34. Omnino praevivendum est cum omni diligentia, ut quicquid manibus
laboraverint aut fecerint, id est lardum, siccamen, sulcia, niusaltus,
vinum, acetum, moratum, vinum, coctum, GARUM, sinape, formaticum,
butirum, bracios, cervisas, medum, mel, ceram, farinam, omnia cum summo
nitore sint facta vel parata". (Source: Boretius, A., ed., Capitularia
regum francorum, Tomus primus, Hannoverae 1883, p. 86).
