Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): first smiling and saying: ‘O dear brother, if you wish to know the truth about this, you must listen to a few old stories pertinent to the subject, how Fortune has overthrown ancient lords, through which you will indeed within a short time recognize this boar and from what family he comes, as is found in books.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): まずほほ笑んで言った。「ああ、愛する弟よ、貴方がこの夢の真実を知りたければ、いくつかのむかしの話に耳を傾けねばなりません。＜運命の女神＞がむかしの支配者たちを破滅させたことに関連しますが、それらの話によって、短時間のうちに、この猪のことがよく分かるでしょう、そしてどんな血筋からそれは出ているかも、人が書物で見る通りに、分かります。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 她先微笑了一下，然后说道：“啊，亲爱的弟弟，你若欲明白真情，应先听几段故事，说明幸运如何推翻了几个古代名人；你听后就可知道这野猪的来源，这些事古书上都有记载。

Comments from the Editor

This story of the Calydonian boar finds no counterpart in Fil, and this story is told by Ovid Metamorphoses (8.260–444).
