The fruit of this tree was believed to be the earliest example of cultivated fruit and was named (sic), presumably because a cake of it called was carried in the procession of the Plynteria (Paus.

^{page 136 note 16} Since the foregoing article was completed I have seen that C. Sittl, after indicating the phallic character of die Feige, remarks in a foot-note (op. cit. p. 103 n. 1): ‘Es müsste denn sein, dass eigentlich bedeutete’. This in part anticipates my conclusions.

Parallels, more or less close, to the history of the word might be made out in the case of , and the like.
