1 Diosc. 2. 112 mentions a kind called by the Romans 

 ap/jt.opdKioi'. Plin. 19. 82 has armoracia and says that this 

 was called armon in Pontus ; Sch. suggests that the latter 

 name may have given rise to both armoracia and d^uwpeo. 



2 Plin. 18. 129, cf. 19. 75 ; A then. 9. 7. 



3 Trrjyvvvai. The verb is vised of planting seeds singly ; cf. 

 6. 6. 9 ; 7. 1. 2 ; 7. 5. 3.
