ARUNDO DICTA QUOD CITO ARESCAT. HANC VETERES CANNAM VOCAVERUNT; ARUNDINEM POSTEA VARRO DIXIT. SCIENDUM SANE QUOD LATINUM CANNA DE LINGUA HEBRAEA SUMPSIT; APUD EOS ENIM CALAMUS "CANNA" DICITUR.

Note: "ł U written below second -A- of lemma for UEL CANNUM. EBRAICE is not an accurate gloss, for as WW points out [...] CANNA is met with in both Latin and Greek."
The assumption in BTS "Or is bune meant to give an alternative meaning for CANNA, cf. CRATER VEL CANNA" is not likely because L lemma and interpretamenta go back to Is. 17,7,57.[1] The comments of WW and Oliphant have to be amended accordingly.
