Jujube. Ziziphus spina-christi. ἄκανθα, akantha - Strongs: G173.
From Easton: Thorn - (2.) Heb. kotz (Genesis 3:18; Hosea 10:8), rendered _akantha_ by the LXX. In the New Testament this word _akantha_ is also rendered "thorns" (Matthew 7:16; Matthew 13:7; Hebrews 6:8). The word seems to denote any thorny or prickly plant (Jeremiah 12:13). It has been identified with the Ononis spinosa by some.
