For the plant "scabiosa" on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there is a common name, an Egyptian name and this:


agtis dicit. licomos

I'm not sure what to do with the subscript, probably insert S and a vowel? Agstis?

Hi Koen, here is what I make out of the first two lines.

Nomen herbe scabiose a grecis dicitur licomos ebrayci viscoros | Egypti demoniaca. hac herba nascitur ubique in planis et geris

I read the superscript "r".
I think the last word "geris" could stand for "agris" (field). It's a wild guess, though.

Translation:
The name of the plant is Scabiosa, by the Greek it is called Licomos, by the Hebrew Viscoros, by the Egyptians Demoniaca. This plant grows everywhere in plains and [fields?]
