Porcius Festus

The Greek that is transliterated as “Porcius Festus” in English means “Swinish festival.” (Source Cornwall / Smith 1997).

In Kalmyk it is transliterated as Pork Pest (Порк Пест) which means exactly what it sounds like: “swine fever.” (Source: David Clark in The Bible Translator 2013, p. 54ff. )
