Ch. XCIII.

Ch. XCII. The occurrence is from MS B and was added by a later hand; MS O has brocminte. Cf. 200/20: "þe man mentastrum 7 oþrum naman [blank] hateþ"; the table of contents only has HERBA MENTASTRUS for ch. XCII; in MS H ƀ is minte is added. Cf. Cockayne (1961,I,38/5 and n.2.).

Cont.: "twa mintan, þæt is tunminte 7 horsminte".
Cf our note on HA, 200/18 and Hunger (1935,168)[1]: MENTASTRUM = M. silvestris L.; the →tūn-minte of the LA, 194/10 supports our identification.
Etymology: M. longifolia is a wild growing herb, cf. etymology s.v. →hors-elene.
