Translation:
Scangibin or squingebin is Arabic for a sour syrup that is made either with sugar or with honey, and that is what oximel is. Many people write the word in a corrupt fashion: secaniabin.
Commentary:
This word is of Persian origin, where it is in turn a calque on Greek ὀξύμελι /oxýmeli/, cf. Oximel (1). The Persian word is a compound consisting of /sik/ “vinegar” + /angubēn/ “honey”; cf. MacKenzie, p. 10 and p. 75 respec.
Scangibin and squingebin only reflect different vocalisation patterns:
Scangibin < /sakanğabīn/ and squingebin < /sikanğubīn/.
The first vocalisation is attested in the Vocabulista glossary p. 119: ﺳﻜﻨﺠﺒﻴﻦ /sakanğabīn/ Oximel [[1]]; p. 506: OXIMEL ﺳﻜﻨﺠﺒﻴﻦ /sakanğabīn/ [[2]].
The same form is also attested in Karbstein, pp. 266, 267, “19) Oxymel ﺳﻜﻨﺠﺒﻴﻦ /sakanğabīn/.
Cf. Corriente (Dictionary) p. 257 s.v. *(SKNJBN/L).
Cf. also Tuḥfat al-aḥbāb, Commentary section by Renaud/ Colin, p. 173. “499. Sakanğubīn Oxymel.
The other vocalisation is attested in Siggel p. 42: p. ﺳﻜﻨﺠﺒﻴﻦ /sikanğubīn/ Oxymel, Sauerhonig aus Honig, Essig, Salz und Wasser {i.e. "Persian; oxymel, sour honey from honey, vinegar, salt and water”}.
Although Simon thinks that secaniabin is a corrupt spelling, it actually reflects the original Arabic lemma better than his other transcriptions. In secaniabin the letter “i” stands for the sound /ğ/, i.e. the pronunciation he intends to portray is /sekanğabin/.
