62 Aster History 
Calzolaris, Verona, 1566. In the Italian vernacular, Zargioni- 
Toszzetti, dict’y, 1809; Bertoloni, F 1. Italica, 9: 267. 1854. 
AmELLus, V, only in dative, Ame/lo, V, and Servius ; for which 
some MS. give Amillo; and in the genitive, Amelli, Co/umella, 
twice. See zvfra, under Vergil, for origin. 
ANTIPATER (¢. ¢., plant in which the branch rises above the 
parent; see Filius ante patrem) seems to have been used to in- 
clude Aster by Hermolaus Barbarus and by Brunfels. 
ANTHEMIS, dOepec, distinguished from Aster by Dioscorides; 
but compared as if deemed the nearest in resemblance of the kin- 
dred plants ; confused with Aster sometimes among later writers 
if not by other Greeks ; especially in case of A. tinctoria L. and 
A. rosea DC., thought by Sibthorp to be the “av@eyuec pyhevdvOy¢ 
and the “Avieye¢ xopguedvOy> respectively of Dioscorides. The 
latter is now called zazovw, Sibthorp, 1796.—“There are white 
and pink and dark red kinds of zazo've; it grows wild all about; 
it has stem and leaves like a daisy, but the flower is different, for 
every bud has 3-4 petals and no more, Atfica, speaking chiefly 
of Anthemis rosea DC., which has few, sometimes 5, short broad 
pink rays, the whole long-stalked remote head, less than a half- 
inch across, and very different in nature from the Aster Atticus 
confused with it. 
ARGEMON, dpyepyov (also dorspos, and dpysya) name (from 
Gr. dpyos, Hom. doyevvos, white, shining) of a small white-cen- 
tered ulcer of the eye, so called by Theophrastus, Dioscorides, 
Galen, Pollux, etc.; which inflammation we may distinguish in 
the plural as argema. 
From the fact that it was used as a remedy for argema and 
other troubles of the eye, the name Argemon seems to have been 
applied among various Greeks, to Aster. It became confused 
with Argemone or Argemonia and later with Agrimonia. See 
full treatment infra, under Pliny. 
Perhaps Aster had disappeared from the list of remedies for 
argema before Aetios * wrote, about 540 A.D., his chapter 26 De 
Argemo, in his Sermo iii., “Argemon est ulcusculum circa iridis 
circulum factum, partem albi, et partem nigri occupans, et albu
