Translation:
Batitura {"metal chip"} or squama {"scale struck off by the hammer"} of metals is termed in Greek lepidos but in Arabic tubel.
Apparatus:
Late Latin batitura, battitura, is a derivative of batuo/ battuo "to strike, beat, hit". Here it denotes metal scales as a by-product of forging, i.e. beating metal.
A very similar text is offered in the entry Squama.
For the Arabic entry and further information see Tubel.
