Definition: a generic term for any kind of spice, though often a specific reference to amomum, an Indian type of spice
Notes: In most translations ἄμωμον is interpreted as spice in general, and though in all languages some types of herb-derivative condiments are employed, there may be no general term for such spices. One may, however, in some instances use a descriptive phrase, for example, ‘good-tasting herbs’ or ‘flavoring leaves.’
