Translation:
Sandix: {concerning Dyascorides} it is explained in some old books/commentaries that sandix is fecla.
Commentary:
Simon must be referring to Dioscorides Longobardus, 2, 123, ed. Stadler (1899: 226) De scandice id est fecla = “On scandix, which is {in Latin} fecla”, although Dyascorides is only mentioned in ms. p as the source.

For the etymology of Sandix = Scandix see Sandix (3), Scandix
fecla:
André (1985: 102) s.v. fecla states that its etymology is unexplained, but he thinks it might be related to fenicula “little bracken”? or felicula lit. “little {rock-) fern”.
Souter has f(a)ecula glossed "wild chervil" with Longobardus for his source.
For other meanings of the word see Fecla, Fecula.
