ANISE (ἄνηθον, G464, Matt 23:23). Some think the plant is Pimpinella anisum, an aniseed-flavored herb. The Gr. word anēthon, however, undoubtedly makes it dill (Anethum graveolins) See Dill. The liquid made from the leaves soothes babies. It grows wild in Israel. Its seeds and dried leaves were subject to tithe.
