קינמון, an agreeable aromatic; the inward bark of the
_canella_, a small tree of the height of the willow. It is mentioned,
Exodus xxx, 23, among the materials in the composition of the holy
anointing oil; and in Proverbs vii, 17; Canticles iv, 14; Ecclesiasticus
xxiv, 15; and Revelation xviii, 13, among the richest perfumes. This
spice is now brought from the east Indies; but as there was no traffic
with India in the days of Moses, it was then brought, probably, from
Arabia, or some neighbouring country. We learn, however, from Pliny,
that a species of it grew in Syria.
