    L ASPALTUM = L-Gk ASPALATHUS (cf. André 1985,s.v. ASPALATHUS) = Gk άσπάλαφος, which in Dioscorides I,19 (Berendes 1902,48) denotes some undidentifyed thorn bush. On OE spaldur, which according to Pogatscher (1888,§191,1) is related to late OE spelter cf. the occurrences in the glosses and the respective notes; also cf. Schlutter (1921,410); on the possible meaning 'bitumen, Asphalt' cf. Brown (1964,329, note on Ep. 54).

Cont.: Eftsona nim elenam and spelter and seoþ on wine and sile hym drincan. þis ys seo selesta drenc wyþ þæt broc. According to Löweneck (1896,46/6f) the L model is: ITEM ELNAM COQUE IN VINO BONO ET TERE ESPALTUM; CUM OLEO MISCE, ET BIBAT; NON DUBITET SANARI. But this hardly can be the model. Two lines further there is a passage which matches the OE text verbatim (Renzi 1865,IV,223): ITEM ELNAM ET ASPALTUM COQUES IN VINO, ET DABIS BIBERE; OPTIMUM ADIUTORIUM EST. Here the matching form of ASPALTUM is recorded.
