Notes on the current edition

Enquiry into Plants

1. ¹ Diosc. 2. 112 mentions a kind called by the Romans ἀρμοράκιον. Plin. 19. 82 has armoracia and says that this was called armon in Pontus; Sch. suggests that the latter name may have given rise to both armoracia and ἀμωρέα.
2. ² Plin. 18. 129. cf. 19. 75; Athen. 9. 7.
3. 3 πηγνύναι. The verb is used of planting seeds singly; cf. 6. 6. 9: 7. 1. 2; 7. 5. 3.
