Historical Definition

Struma is butium.

Meaning

The source gives a synonym rather than a descriptive account. Its target form is retained so that the historical chain of identification remains visible.

Use in the Book

The sentence alone supplies no bodily location, appearance or cause. This edition therefore keeps the term searchable while leaving further identification to an explicitly cited context.
