Headword: Sukon
Adler number: sigma,1328
Translated headword: fig
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[A su=kon is] a kind of stu/kon[1] that which stands and does not fall, like the wild fig [o)/lunqos]. [It is called] o)/lunqos from o(/los ["whole"] a)nqei=n ["blossoming"], that is being the same from the first flowering.[2]
[Note] that the fig is an antidote and [it] alone;[3] also dried figs roasted with rue and given on an empty stomach, likewise with pennyroyal.
Also, "a fig that is black when eaten."[4]
Interpretation of a dream: "Eating figs shows noises of nonsenses."[5]

Notes:
[1] The word occurs only here; it seems to be a hypothetical form invented for the sake of etymology.
[2] cf. omicron 223.
[3] cf. [Julian] Epistle 180 (p.230.12-13 Bidez/Cumont).
[4] Greek Anthology 6.299.3 (Phanias), a dedication of food and wine to Hermes and Aphrodite; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 163); (vol. II, 471-472); and further excerpts at delta 1548, theta 429, and iota 552.
[5] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, attributed to Astrampsychus (alpha 4251). Adler prints 'noises' (yo/fous) from mss AM; alternatives are yo/gous and lo/gous.
