Translation:
Gemus is Arabic for Latin bubalus {"buffalo, wild ox"} according to the 'liber de doctrina arabica'.
Commentary:
Cf. Wehr (1976): ﺟﺎﻣﻮﺲ /ğāmūs/ "buffalo".
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 (1871: 77) [[1]]: ﺟﺎﻣﻮﺲ /ğāmūs/ Bubalus [[2]]; (1871: 273): BUBALUS ﺟﺎﻣﻮﺲ - ﺟﻮﺍﻣﻴﺲ /ğāmūs - ğawāmīs/ [[3]].
