The Names.

IT is called in Greek 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; and by Hippocrates, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; in Latine Malus Punica, and Malus Granata, and the fruit Malum Granatum or Punicum; be∣cause it is thought they were brought from that part of Africk where old Carthage stood, into that part of Spain, which is now called Granado; and from thence called Granatum. The flowers of the tame kind are called Cytini, which is notwithstanding properly the Cup of the flower, and Balaustium is gene∣rally taken to be only the double flowers of the wild kind. The rind of the fruit is called in Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and so also Psidium and Sidium, in Latine; but generally Malicorium or Cortex Granatorum. The greater doubled blossomed kind is called Balaustium Creticum and Cyprium: because it groweth it both those places, and there is another which is called Romanum.
