 * the cucumbers.
   In Hebrew, {kishshuim,} in Arabic, {kiththa,} Chaldee,
   {keta,} and Syriac, {kati,} a species of cucumber peculiar to
   Egypt, smooth, of a longish cylindrical shape, and about a
   foot long.  Prosper Alpinus says that it differs from the
   common sort by its size, colour, and softness; that its
   leaves are smaller, whiter, softer, and rounder; its fruit
   larger, greener, smoother, softer, sweeter, and more easy of
   digestion than ours.  Hasselquist describes it in the same
   manner; and adds, that it is very little watery, but firm
   like a melon, sweet and cool to the taste, but not so cold as
   the watermelon, which is meant by the {avutichim} of the
   text.
