    Symphytum officinale L., common comfrey, Arznei-Beinwell
  • B: plant: native Today: Mainly from the Orient. European countries also furnish oak galls, e. g., England, Germany, Italy, but these are decidedly inferior in the amount of tannin they contain. (http://www.henriettesherbal.com/eclectic/kings/quercus-lusi_nutgall.html)

  • Comment on (A): Symphytum officinale L., common comfrey, Arznei-Beinwell

    Cf. BTC, s.v. galluc, and Förster (1917,126); also Hunger (1935,167): LXI: SIMPHITUM = S. officinale. Based on the context this is the only possible identification for the LA.[1]

  • Comment on (B): ? Gallae quercinae, gallnut, Gallapfel

    Cf. Förster (n. on AntFö 126,176): "Wenn […] galloc […] das lat. GALLA 'gallapfel' glossiert, so ist schwer zu sagen, ob das eine durch die ähnlichkeit des wortklanges veranlaßte fehlübersetzung ist, oder ob der glossator in vollem Verständnis für die bedeutung des lateinischen wortes eine anglisierung desselben mittelst des ae. Suffixes -oc wählte." If the second assumption was true, we would have to assume two lemmata, to be differentiated etymologically and with regard to meaning (cf. ibid.).

    ADRIATICA cannot be verifyed as plant name[2]; MALUM TERRAE does not suit our meanings A-C and neither does it go with →elehtre.

  • Comment on (C): ? Lupinus L., lupin, a species of ~, Lupine, eine Art von ~

    Cf. BTC, s.v. galluc, and Förster (1917,126).

Förster: "Symphytum officinale [...] ist auch sicher gemeint in einem ags. rezepte (Leechdoms III 6,10), da dort ausdrücklich von der wurzelrübe der pflanze (galluces moran) die rede ist." On Förster"s note cf. Laud 162 and the respective note.

The DOE, s.v. regard it as an "otherwise unattested HADRIATICA ‘? comfrey’".

N.: "Cf. CUMFIRIA.I. galloc, WW 555,4."

Cont.: galluces moran.

[5]:

Cont.: gif man sceorpe on þone innaþ: galluc hatte; delf [þa moran] wiþ eagena teara; cf. Grattan / Singer (1951,166,n.5): "There is clearly some omission here, as C noted; but the MS. gives no indication of it. Neither C nor L observes that the corruption has extended to the following lines: the words þa moran, which follow win two lines below in the MS., have been misplaced. The emended text remains incomplete." Cf. Cockayne (1962,III,44/28): "galluc hatte […] delf […] wiþ eagena teara"; amend wyrt after hatte: cf. for instance LB 6/24 murra hatte wyrt.
