Garlic in the VM
A few words in the manuscript remind me of garlic, σκόροδον or σκόρδον in ancient Greek, σκόροδος and σκόρδος in Byzantine Greek, σκόρτος in Cypriot Greek and σκόρδο in modern Greek.
These words are:
- shordy (1) 11v.1, A;
- shorchdy (1) 103v.9, B;
- shorodo (1) 13r.5, A;
- shorody (1) 44v.4, A.
Three of these pages have drawings of plants.
Could it really be garlic?
