   Pepper
  
      A variant of {POP-11} by Chris Dollin
      .
  
      (2002-05-26)
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Paper
      The expression in the Authorized Version (Isa. 19:7), "the paper
      reeds by the brooks," is in the Revised Version more correctly
      "the meadows by the Nile." The words undoubtedly refer to a
      grassy place on the banks of the Nile fit for pasturage.
     
         In 2 John 1:12 the word is used in its proper sense. The
      material so referred to was manufactured from the papyrus, and
      hence its name. The papyrus (Heb. gome) was a kind of bulrush
      (q.v.). It is mentioned by Job (8:11) and Isaiah (35:7). It was
      used for many purposes. This plant (Papyrus Nilotica) is now
      unknown in Egypt; no trace of it can be found. The unaccountable
      disappearance of this plant from Egypt was foretold by Isaiah
      (19:6, 7) as a part of the divine judgment on that land. The
      most extensive papyrus growths now known are in the marshes at
      the northern end of the lake of Merom.
