SYCAMINE ( Luke 17:6 ). sykaminos is, strictly speaking, the black mulberry ( Morus nigra the tût shâmî of the Syrians), and it is probably this tree that is referred to in Luke 17:6 and in 1Ma 6:34 . But sykaminos is also used in LXX [Note: Septuagint.] in many passages as the equivalent of the shiqmîm or sycomore (wh. see).

E. W. G. Masterman.
