خريطة

From خَرَطَ (ḵaraṭa, “to peel or strip, to pare, to make sheets (out of bark)”); with phono-semantic matching with Latin charta, from Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs), in that sense a doublet of قِرْطَاس (qirṭās). Compare Phoenician 𐤇𐤓𐤈𐤉𐤕 (ḥrṭyt), interpreted as “something written”, cognate with Biblical Hebrew חֶרֶט (ḫereṭ, “stylus; style of writing”).

     In what concerns the mustard preparation, one takes new mustard, avoiding the old, and cleans its grains with sweet water and dries them, then one threshes and sieves it, thereafter puts it to must of utmost sweetness, and it fills from it a vessel, and this mustard is dealt into three portions, of which all thirds are transferred into a pouch tied up with a cane in the way said earlier, and from this mustard one sews onto the must’s surface in the upper part of the vessel until it is covered and thickens.
