farcimen: botulus (the latter, according to Gell., a low word): hilla (a small sausage highly seasoned): tomaculum (a kind of sausage, mentioned by Juv. and Petronius, different from the botulus. Petronius, 49, speaks of tomacula cum botulis; and ib., 31, we read fuerunt et tomacula supra craticulam argenteam ferventia). To make a sausage, farcimen facere; intestinum farcire.
