I found some more arabian latin words. They all start with 'c', but there are many with 'b' too, which I will look up later. Cabrîtus or cabrîtês - sulphur, cacabre - ambre (you know, those stones in Jurassic Park), cacaramum - pitchstone (something like black glass), câcollae - cardamom or grains of paradise (I don't know how that tastes), clîmia - calamine (a stone); I don't know the vowel length one should use best for 'cacabre' and 'cacaramum'. For the others I took the arabic lengths. 'Clîmia' is, if I understood the entry right, derived from the same greek word as 'calamine', but it took the way over arabic. Next time I will probably write about the north italian text on the tablet. Yours Thomas
