Notes: In the parallel passage (RV MAT 23:23 · LV MAT 23:23 · Read together MAT 23:23) ἄνηθον ‘dill’ and κύμινον ‘cumin’ occur (see 3.24: ἄνηθον-3.25: κύμινον).|In designating ‘rue’ as well as ἡδύοσμον 'mint', ἄνηθον ‘dill,’ and κύμινον ‘cumin,’ it is probably wise to borrow a term and use a classifier, for example, ‘a seasoning herb called rue.’
