THY'INE-WOOD
This was obtained Thyine- Wood (Thuya Articulata). from a small tree (Thuya articulata) belonging to the cone-bearing order Thyatira. (From a sketch by Arundell) and resembling our cedar and arborvitae. It was highly valued by the Romans, in the days of their luxury, for cabinet-work, being very compact and fragrant and of a handsome brown, often variegated by knots. It was obtained in Northern Africa, and from it is still collected the true gum-sandarach. Rev 18:12.
