Translation:
Hasrem is Arabic for Latin agresta or sour grape, but Stephanus writes helserem.
Commentary:
Hasrem:
Cf. Wehr (1976): ﺣﺼﺮﻢ /ḥiṣrim/ "unripe and sour grapes" (syr.).
Siggel (1950: 29): ﺣﺼﺮﻢ /ḥiṣrim/ "Saft unreifer Trauben. {i.e. 'juice of unripe grapes'}".
Vocalisation closer Simon’s are found in a number of Andalusi Arabic sources, e.g. the Vocabulista glossary, ed. Schiparelli (1871: 87): ﺣﺼﺮﻣﺔ /ḥaṣrama/ Agresta [[1]]; (1871: 235): AGRESTA ﺣﺼﺮﻣﺔ ﻭﺣﺼﺮﻡ ﻭﺣﺼﺮﻡ /ḥaṣrama wa ḥaṣram wa ḥiṣrim/ [[2]].
Cf. Corriente (1997: 129), s.v. *(ḤṢRM). See Heserem.
Agresta:
is a medieval Latin term for "verjuice"; cf. Du Cange: "AGRESTA, Omphacium, verjus".
