Note 072
A Jew, gratified his contempt and hatred for
all the Christians, by enclosing three bands, each of ten
hogs, and discriminated by the names of Goths, Greeks, and
Romans. Of the first, almost all were found dead; almost
all the second were alive: of the third, half died, and the
rest lost their bristles. No unsuitable emblem of the event.
