Historical Definition

Tereniabin is the fatness of manna, or wood honey, found in good quantity in June, July and August.

Meaning

Use in the Book

Tronus also associates a dew name with manna, but describes celestial dew made of air and a particularly sweet kind. The present entry is distinguished by wood honey and its summer months.
