Sycamine (συκάμινος)

Luke 17:6
Listen from:
This is mentioned only in Luke 17:6; and as the same writer speaks also of the sycamore tree, the two are deemed to be distinct. The sycamore is supposed to be the mulberry, still called in Greece sycamenia. Both the black and white mulberry (Morns nigra and alba) are common in Palestine, their leaves being the food of silkworms.
