Anton,

"fimile" is to be read "simile". It's the old "f" for "s" thing.
"ligno simile" means "similar" or "same" wood.

As far as I can tell the sentence reads:
"Nec mirum hoc de sanctuario et interioribus templi et altaris et thymiamatis credere, cuius etiam anchiton ligni genus vel ligno simile, quato plus arcerit tanto mundius inveniatur."
Google translates this as:
"Nor is it surprising that this is the temple, and the altar, and of incense, and the internal ones to believe that out of the sanctuary, who is also the anchiton of the tree of the genus or the tree of the same, as regards more excluded from, the more and be found."

The other plant referred to in this sentence is "thymiamatis", this is a kind of wood used as incense, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. as "shittim wood". Shittim wood is derived from the shittah tree (a kind of acacia), in the bible it is apparently the wood from which the Ark of the Covenant and the furniture of the Taberncle were made. There is a possibility that this tree is the biblical "burning bush".

So, what I'm getting from this is that the anchiton would be like the thymiamatis, a kind of acacia that seems to be very important for its use in temples for incense and as a material for sacred paraphernalia.
