ither wild sheep, or with pregnant sheep, or, more
probably, with unborn baby lamb, which in antiquity as
today is often killed principally for its skin.

[3] Mint is still associated with lamb; the above sauce
appears to be merely an elaborate Roman ancestor of our
modern mint sauce, served with lamb, the chief
ingredients of which are mint, vinegar and sugar, served
both hot and cold.

[1] Evidently a beef or veal steak _saute_. Beef did not
figure very heavily on the dietary of the ancients in
contrasts to present modes which make beef the most
important meat, culinarily speaking. The above sauce,
save for the raisins and the honey, resembles the modern
_Bordelaise_, often served with beef steaks _saute_, in
contrast to the grilled steaks which are served with
_maitre d'hotel_ butter.
