Felfelium Stephanus pro fulfel quod est piper scripsit.


Apparatus:

Felfelium (-liũ e) AC e | Felfelũ B | felfellum f

fulfel AC f | fufel (or sufel e) B e


Translation:

Stephanus writes felfelium for Arabic fulfel, which is piper {"pepper"} in Latin.


Commentary:

Wehr (1985): ﻓﻠﻔﻞ /fulful, filfil/ "pepper".

Stephanus has a tendency to latinize most Arabic words he encounters in his translations.

Cf. his Breviarium has Greek: peperi - Arabic: ferfelũ. [[1]]

See also: Fulfel, Peperi
