The occurrence from Brodin, Agnus Castus, 142,24f has to be added, too: "CIDAMUM is an herbe men clepe corhnote [=erthenote] or dilnote or slyte or haylwourth." It is only recorded s.vv. dilnote and haliwort.

Cf. the numerous glosses TUBERA ertnuz in, e.g. Björkman (1902,286).

Note in the DOE: "perh. ref. to a thorn-tree beneath which earth-nuts, pig-nuts or cyclamen tubers were to be found".
Cf. MED (s.v. ĕrthe): "erthenote [...] earthnut or pignut (Bunium); the tuber of the European cyclamen (Cyclamen) .a 1400 Alphita 134: PANIS PORCINUS; CICLAMEN; MALUM TERRE IDEM.AE. dilnote UEL erthenote." Also cf. the OED (s.v. dill, sb.1): "dill-nut (dil-note), an old name of the Earthnut, BUNIUM (also by confusion of 'pig-nut' and 'sowbread', taken in the herbals as CYCLAMEN". Also cf. the occurrence in Sinonoma Bartholomei (5.15), which is neither recorded in the MED[1] or the OED: "CICLAMEN, PANIS PORCINUS IDEM, AN. herthenüte. FLOREM HABET PURPUREUM SIMILEM VIOLIS. NASCITUR IN LOCIS UBI CRESCUNT CASTANEEE." This description clearly refers to C. europaeum but the reference to chestnuts seems to indicate Bunium L. (G Erdkastanie, ModE earth-chestnut), which shares the old name MALUM TERRAE as well as the NHG name Erdnuss[2] with C. europaeum (cf. Marzell (2000,1,694 and 1,1284). The L lemma GENTIANA (= OE feldwyrt 'gentian, Enzian') does not go with eorþhnutu; the explanation for this confusion is that in the L HA GENTIANA (Howald / Sigerist 1927, ch. 16) is located directly before ORBICULARIS (ch. 17). Therfore, we have to assume two glosses: ORBICULARIS eorthnutu and GENTIANA feldwyrt.
