  • Comment on (A): -, oil-vessel, Ölgefäß

    Cf. Stryker's note: "The First gloss renders LENTICULA 'lentil', the second renders LENTICULA 'a jug' and ærenu elebyt corresponds exactly to LENTICULA: UASCULUM AEREUM OLEI [...] CGL 6,636." Also cf. Is. 20,7,4: LENTICULA VASCULUM OLEARIUM, EX AERE AUT ARGENTO FACTUM.
