Ieuz bane
From Simon Online
Ieuz bane vel bace arabice nux muscata.
Apparatus:
Ieuz bane (Ieuzbane B) B e | Ieum bane AC f
bace AC e | bacce B f
Translation:
Ieuz bane or bace is Arabic for Latin nux muscata {"nutmeg"}.
Commentary:
bane - which all witnesses have - is probably a very early misreading of baue, and bac(c)e appears to be the same word bane however influenced by Latin bac(c)a "berry”.
