cessus styloidei, the styloid processes. « See »additamenta 

 sisamina«, »ossa shemie«, »sagittarii«. Ilyrtl is wrong in 

 deriving the »shemie« from A. eU»; -shemie« comes from 



A. »sahmiyya« x*.*^ meaning »arrow-shaped«.

2863. Sakibata l-lu r ab ^IxJul [ZjSL* A. — »the (two) dischargers of the 



saliva«, ducts from (certain) salivary glands. Ductus sub- 

 linguals minores or majores? Or the ductus submandi- 

 bulars (Warthoniani or submaxillares?). As the ductus 

 sublinguals majores (ductus Bartholiniani) are very rare 

 in man, but normal in certain animals (f. i. the ox), obser- 

 vations on animals possibly have been transferred to man, 

 in case the above term signifies the ductus sublinguals 

 majores (Bartholiniani). The text in ar-Razi (Razes) runs

Dr. Koning translates (Trois Traites etc., page 55): 

 »Au-dessous de la langue il y a deux orifices [orifices des 

 conduits de Wharton) d'oii sort la salive. lis menent a la 

 chair glanduleuse blanche situee pres de sa pointe, et cette 

 chair s'appelle l'organe generateur de la salive; ces deux 

 orifices s'appellent les deversoirs de la salive, et e'est par 

 eux que la langue et les parties environnantes conservent 

 l'humidite naturelle.«
