I've also checked Hassan bar Bahlul's dictionary. He further explains that it was not locusts that John the Baptist ate but a plant (similar to a carrot?) (Guess this is the source of Payne Smith's parsnip).
Please see attachment for the relevant page from Hassan bar Bahlul's dictionary. Paul, maybe you can elaborate on what bar Bahlul writes about qamtza?
All this is very intriguing. I wonder if it is possible to know which sources bar Bahlul used for his dictionary, and how old they are.
