Greek keratia ("horns"), the horn-like pods of the carob tree, abounding in Syria and Egypt, Ceratonia siliqua (Luke 15:16). The sweet pithy pulp affords food for pigs, and also for very poor men. Tradition makes it the Baptist's food in the wilderness; from whence it is called also John's bread. It has been exported to England for feeding cattle.
