called the fish _rubelliones_, _rubellos_ and _rubros_;
the Greeks _erythrinos_ or _erythricos_, because of
their reddish color. A fish, according to Athenaeus
similar to the _pager_ or _pagrus_, _phager_ or
_phagrus_, also called _pagur_, which is not quite
identified.

II

[448] SAUCE FOR [BROILED] MURENA
_IUS IN MURENA [ASSA]_ [1]

PEPPER, LOVAGE, SATURY, SAFFRON [2], ONIONS, STONED DAMASCUS PRUNES,
WINE, MEAD, VINEGAR, REDUCED MUST AND OIL; COOK IT [3].

[1] V. doubting that this is broiled.

[2] Tor. _Crocomagma_; List. _crocum magnum_, still used
today in some fish preparations, particularly in the
Bouillabaisse.

[3] The laconic style in which all these fish
preparations are given, is very confusing to the
uninitiated. We assume that most of these ingredients
were used to season the water in which to boil fish; or,
to make a _court-bouillon_, a fish-essence of the bones
and the trimmings of the fish, in which to poach the
sliced fish. The liquor thus gained was reduced and in
the moment of serving was bound with roux or with yolks,
and the fish was masked with this sauce. The exceptions
from this rule are, of course, in cases where the fish
was broiled or fried.
