Headword:
*pimelh/
Adler number: pi,1605
Translated headword: [soft] fat
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] thickness, fattiness.[1]
Appian [writes]: "[it was he] who initiated the labour, [despite] being sixty years old and physically corpulent and fat".[2] Meaning fat[ty].
Soft fat and hard fat differ,[3] in that the soft fat when dried remains soft, whereas the hard fat becomes solid, to such a point that it can be crumbled. So the soft fat cannot be crumbled: for this reason even the broths made from animals with soft fat, such as pig and bear and others, do not congeal; but those made from animals with hard fat, like ox, goat [and] sheep do congeal.

[2] Appian,
Macedonica 14. Though preserved only here, its subject has been identified as Q. Marcius
Philippus, described in his second consulship of 169 BCE. The 'labour' mentioned was an advance--ultimately abandoned--into Macedonia.
