Translation:
Deyberane is Arabic for Latin vespa {"wasp"} as stated in the liber de doctrina arabica.
Commentary:
Simon's often quoted source, the Liber de doctrina arabica, has so far not been identified, but cf., what must be a similar glossary/dictionary - Vocabulista - ed. Schiaparelli (1871: 101) [[1]]
- ﺩﻳﺒﺮﺎﻧﺔ /daibarāna/ Vespa; ed. Schiaparelli (1871: 625): VESPA ﺩﻳﺒﺮﺎﻧﺔ ﻭﺩﻳﺒﺮﺎﻧﺔ ﺍﺕ /daibarāna wa-daibarāna ~āt/ …
Cf. Wehr (1976): ﺩﺑﻮﺭ /dabbūr/ "hornet, wasp".
