Translation:

Gergir is Arabic for Latin eruca {"rocket"}; Stephanus writes gergirum. In Greek it is called euzomium. See above under Euzomon.

Commentary:

Gergir:
Siggel (1950: 25): ﺟﺭﺟﻴﺭ /ğarğīr, ğirğīr/ Brassica eruca (Crucif.), Rauke… . {i.e. "rocket"}.
The Greek word is εὔζωμον /eúzōmon/.

Stephanus in his Breviarium writes: euzomõ … gergir~ [[1]].
