Hetercatura AC fp | Hertercatura B | Hertarcatura ms. e | Heutratura j
psilium ABC | psillium efjp
corruptum | coruptũ B
basara catuna (basaraca tuna ef) efp | basara catuma AC | basaracatĩa B | balsaracatuma j

Translation:

Hetercatura: Stephanus says that this is psilium {a “plantain” species}, but I think it is a corrupted reading and that it is correctly called basara catuma.

Commentary:

Simon’s suspicion that this is simply a bad reading of Stephanus’ berzercatuna, cf. Breviarium:
Psilliõ {Pfilliõ?} … berzercatuna [[1]]. }

For the Arabic see Bazara catona.
