Hyginus tamen Iulius, qui ius pontificum non videtur ignorasse, in quarto librorum quos De Vergilio fecit, bidentes appellari scripsit hostias quae per aetatem duos dentes altiores haberent. Verba illius ipsa posui: Quae bidens est, inquit, hostia, oportet habeat dentes octo, sed ex his duo ceteris altiores, per quos appareat ex minore aetate in maiorem transcendisse. Haec Hygini opinio an vera sit, non argui argumentis, sed oculis videri potest.
