crucificar

EN But in order to justify my friend, he confessed that this expedient was put into his head by the famous Psalmanazar, a native of the island Formosa, who came from thence to London above twenty years ago, and in conversation told my friend, that in his country when any young person happened to be put to death, the executioner sold the carcass to persons of quality as a prime dainty; and that in his time the body of a plump girl of fifteen, who was crucified for an attempt to poison the emperor, was sold to his imperial majesty's prime minister of state, and other great mandarins of the court, in joints from the gibbet, at four hundred crowns.
GL Sen embargo, o meu amigo para desculparse confesou que quen lle metera a idea na cabeza fora o famoso Psalmanazar, un nativo da illa de Formosa que veu dende alí ata Londres hai uns vinte anos e que, conversando, lle dixo que no seu país, cando unha persoa era sentenciada a morte, o verdugo vendía o cadáver como un manxar de primeira clase ás persoas da aristocracia; e que nos seus tempos o cadáver dunha nena gordecha de quince anos, crucificada por intentar envelenar ó emperador, vendeuse ó primeiro ministro da súa maxestade imperial e a outros mandaríns da corte en anacos de a catrocentas coroas.
