Cf. Hunger (1935,167): LV: PAPAUER = P. somniferum, Laud 979 (METORIA. I. popig), DP 238 (METORIA hvit popig) and n. 238: "Das Lemma METORIA ist wohl aus gr. μήκων 'Mohn' entstellt." Hwīt popig probably is a translation of L PAPAUER ALBUM, an old name of P. somniferum: cf. L HA (Howald / Sigersit 1927,53,11f): "A GRAECIS DICITUR MECON ROEAS, [...] ITALI PAPAUER ALBUM."
The name may refer to a subspecies, (P. somniferum subsp. officinale, white poppy seed, Weißmohn), which has white seeds. This variety was frequently and is still used as a nut-substitute in cooking.
