EXPLANATION OF PLATE 22-27 
Plate 22. ---- A delineation of the circle of the twelve months and the fruits produced in each month. Outside the circle are written the names of the Egyptian months Mhne\j 'Aigupti/oi, and of the four seasons, which he designates respectively, e0arinh& troph& the spring tropic; qerinh& troph& the summer tropic; metopwrinh& troph& the autumn tropic; xeimeri\nh& troph& the winter tropic. The fruit produced in Egypt in Pharmouth (April) is sko&roda;, garlic; in Pachôn (May), ki/nna a kind of pulse; in Payni (June), ka&rua; 'Arme/nia Armenian nuts; in Epiphi (July), si=toj kopu&mwra;. Montfaucon takes the latter |392 word to be a mistake for suko&moroj; the fig-mulberry, called also suka&minoj; h( 'Aigupti/a; in Mesori (August), su~ka stafu&lia;, figs, grapes: but to judge from the picture only one kind of fruit is indicated; in Thôth (September), elaio&dakna; an unknown fruit; in Phaophy (October), foi/nikej, palms or palm-leaves; in Athyr (November), a)spara&gia; asparagus; in Choiac (December), mala&xai; mallows; in Tybi (January), e0utu&bia;, endives; in Mechir (February), a)gla&tia;: this is unknown; in Phamenôth (March), ki/tra fruit of citron? The remaining plates are pictures of the animals and plants which Cosmas has described in the earlier portion of the eleventh book.

[Online edition: placed in square brackets. Material in red is not in the printed text. The summary of contents is found in the manuscripts so has been added from a Greek critical edition, although its exact position is doubtful] 2 This work on Cosmography is one of the lost treasures of antiquity. Its loss appeared to Montfaucon one to be deplored even with tears. 3 Katagrafai\. The Latin version erroneously renders this by paragraphi. 4 Gr. ska&rifon;.

The Greek-speaking Jews used #Ellhn, Graecus, and some of its derivatives, in the sense of pagan, gentile, idolater, apparently because the Greeks were the most prominent Gentile people with which they were acquainted. This signification passed into the works of Christian authors, the Greeks, properly so-called, being designated by the term #Elladikoi/ or Graikoi/.
