  • Comment on (A): Papaver L., poppy, a species of ~, Mohn, eine Art von ~

    The species most likely referred to in the LB is P. somniferum L., because in 46/5 popig is the only ingredient for a soporific. Also cf. Cockayne (1961,III,342).

    On CODION cf. CGL 3,538,19: CODION IDEST PAPABER. CUCUMIS = 'Cucumis sativus L.; cucumber, Gurke' (cf. →hwerhwette); Pheifer (n.253) suggests (following Lindsay) that popeg 'poppy, Mohn' was chosen by the glossator because of its phonetical similarity to PEPO ('Lagenaria Ser.; gourd, Flaschenkürbis'), which in most glosses is a synonym of CUCUMIS. But it need not have been an error made by an Old English glossator: cf. the Affatim-Glosses in CGL 4,547,19 PAPAUER PEPONES. Another (far fetched?) explanation for the connection of poppy and melon could be that in Isidor's Etymologies the description of poppy directly follows the one for COLOCYNTHIS 'Momordica charantia L.; bitter melon; Bittergurke' (cf. →cyrfæt). METORIA is a corruption of Gk μήκων ροιάς; (cf. Berendes 1902,397) which is recorded in the L HA (Howald / Sigerist 1927,53,11) as MECON ROEAS and MECORIAS.
