What it meant

1. νέπετος · nepetos — Beekes

νέπετος [?] = καλαμίνθη (Gal.). «Ραΐ» ‘eVAR Cf. νέπιτα' ἡ καλαμίνθη (H.). *ETYM According to André 1956 s.v., νέπιτα was taken from Lat. nepeta. Fur. 357 is probably right in considering the origin of the Latin word to be a Greek pre-form *veTteta. Such a form points to Pre-Greek origin. — [Beekes, s.v. νέπετος, p. 1061]

2. νέπετος · nepetos — LSJ

= καλαμίνθη, Lat. word in Gal. 14.43; cf. νέπιτα· ἡ καλαμίνθη, Hsch. (Lat. nepeta.)
