Malobathron
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
MALOBATHRON. RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] of Song of Solomon 2:17 for EV [Note: English Version.] Bether (wh. see). It is argued by Post, against this rendering, that the malobathron plant ( Laurus malabathrum ) did not grow wild on any of the mountains of Palestine. Others would render (by a slight textual emendation) ‘mountains of cypresses.’
