To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the Hebrew scriptures it is unknown, nor has it a place arnong the mint and anise and cummin" of the Gospels.
Herodotus has no bit of folklore to attach to it. Theophrastus, indeed, in the 4th century B. C. , knows it as a medicine, and Dioscorides distinguishes between black, white and long pepper. The Sanscrit writers describe it as a medicine for fever and dyspepsia, used together with ginger and long pepper; these were their • three pungent sub- stances. " {Mahavagga, VI, 19, 1; see also... I-tsing, Record of Buddhist Praciias [7th century A. D.J, chap, xxviii; Takakusu's edition, p. 135.) The Romans had it after their conquests in Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, and at once provided the greatest market for it. Egypt knew it, probably, through the sea-trade of the Ptolemies; Syria through the caravan-trade to Tyre from the Persian Gulf. There is some reason for supposing that pepper was the spice more especially in demand in Babylonia and the Persian Gulf trade generally, just as cinnamon was that more especially reserved for Egypt; and that the most active demand for it came with the extension of the Persian empire under Darius.
