Commentary:

Kesceharire:
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 [[1]]: (1871: 161): ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺮﺓ /qašʕarīra or qušʕarīra/ Oripilacio [[2]]; (1871: 504): ORIPILATIO ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺮﺓ /qašʕarīra or qušʕarīra/ … [[3]].

Also: Dozy (1877-81: II.350), quoting Vocabulista as one of his sources, s.v. ﻗﺸﻌﺮ /qšʕr/: ﻗﺸﻌﺮﺓﺍﻟﺠﻠﺪ /qašʕarat al-ğild/ "horripilation" … {lit. "shiver of the skin"}; ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺔ /qšʕryah/ "frisson de peur" {"shiver with fear"}; ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻴﺭﺓ /qušaʕrīra/ "t. de médec. frisson dans le dos, qui précède la fièvre" {i.e. medical term: "shiver in the back which precedes a fever"}

Cf. Lane (1984: 2526): ﺍﺧﺬﺗﻪ ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻴﺭﺓ /aḫḏathu qušaʕrīra/ "a tremor, quaking, or quivering, of the skin" {lit. "a shiver has seized him"}

horripilatio:
Latin horripilatio is a compound of horri- {compound form of "horror"} + -pil- {pilus "hair"} + -atio nominal ending.
