In German approximately: ‘ff. Durchgeseihtes Liquamen – Hersteller: Umbricus Agathopus’. We have rendered the hardly translatable word liquamen, whose basic component actually means only ‘liquid’, following the pattern of previous translators, with the for many readers probably a little bit puzzling word ‘fish brine’ and believe to be able to justify this, since already ancient authors speak of the ‘so-called’ liquamen and use a second word (‘garum’) for it. The wort, because of its lengthy preparation, was produced on a large scale in regular factories and, as the advertisement quoted above proves, was not uniform.
When the liquid has been extracted by the heat of the sun, strain the ‘garum’ as follows: Take a fine-meshed sieve and place it in the middle of the vessel filled with the above-mentioned salted fish mass. In this way, the so-called liquamen, pressed through the sieve, can be taken out. The remaining product is ‘allec’.
The best ‘garum’, the so-called ‘haimation’, is prepared as follows: Take the innards, gills, juice and blood of a tuna and salt them sufficiently. Leave the quantity in a container for a maximum of two months. Next, drill the vessel and the garum, called haimation, will flow out.
