A is it meldein to melt? No, but aldein to grow/nourish. Which he said loosely... that is, he did not make the limbs oily and fat by dyeing; he said "melting." By metaphor, I say the parts of the cauldron, which being greased by the fat melting, or by the savor with which the cauldron is greased, and increasing the limbs with the savor, B or "giving the limbs to the savor," taking the dative instead of the genitive.
