Aabam. Some alchemists used this word to signify lead. See Lead, Saturn, Accib, Alabari. [1]
1. The original text erroneously gives, in capitals, ALABARIC; there is no article on Alabaric , but there is, in vol. 1 of Encyclopédie, a short article for Alabari . The words aabam, accib, and alabari do not appear in the Oxford English Dictionary and do not appear to have been used in English.
