Translation: [A nickname for] Ulpian, one of the deipnosophists.[1]
He was so called[2] because of his constant challenges: is there attestation for hora ['season'] applied to the part of the day? And for methusos ['drunk'] applied to a male? And for metra ['womb'] applied to the edible food? Is there attestation for suagros ['wild boar'] applied to the pig? And he had a private rule, to taste nothing before he had asked whether or not it is attested.
