κερατιον , Luke 15:16; the husks of leguminous plants, so named from their resemblance to κερας , a horn; but Bochart thinks that the κερατια were the ceretonia, the husks or fruit of the carob tree, a tree very common in the Levant. We learn from Columella, that these pods afforded food for swine; and they are mentioned as what the prodigal desired to eat, when reduced to extreme hunger.
