ܒܪܢܓܣܪ brngsr? a medicament
LS is not sure about the reading of this hapax and hesitantly suggests the emendation to ܒܪܢܓܣܦ brngsp artemisia, mugwort (see the following entry). In any case, the term seems connected with Syr. brng an Indian or Chinese berry, strongly purgative, which is a loanword from Persian (see the previous entry). Surely wrong is PS Suppl., where two different words are recorded (p. 62: brngsr artemisia, mugwort; p. 64: brngsr a medicine which promotes the discharge of phlegm) for this word, attested only once in Med 311, 17 ● brngsr Med 311, 17 ◆ LS 97b
