mint ( ἡδύοσμον , hēdúosmon ): Mentioned ( Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42 ) as one of the small things which were tithed. The cultivated variety (Mentha piperita ), "peppermint," was doubtless primarily intended, but the wild Mentha silvestris or horsemint, which flourishes all over the mountains of Palestine, is probably included.
