Cascasum

Cascasum Stephanus pro chax quod est papaver scripsit.

Apparatus:

Ms. f has only Cascasuʒ and then skips a line to the next entry replacing its headword Casamum but adopting the entry’s wording: panis porcinus ciclamen malum terre idem.

chax AC | cax B e

quod est papaver (ut add. e) scripsit AC e | s. q. e. p. B

Translation:

Cascasum is what Stephanus writes for chax, which is papaver {"poppy"}.

Commentary:

Stephanus in his Breviarium writes: micõ … papauer … chaschasũ [[1]].

Chax or cax is probably an early copying error for *chaxchax or *caxcax.
