         DefinitionShort: an aromatic resin of a lily-like plant, often used for embalming a corpse

         Glosses: aloes

         Comments: As in the case of {L:σμύρνα} ‘myrrh’ ({D:6.208}), translators normally borrow a term for ‘aloes’ and then employ some kind of marginal note to indicate the nature of the substance.
