Translation
[Referring to] the anointing-oil of the royal olive, which the prophets used to bring forward by means of a horn and rub on the kings.1
"And David was deemed worthy of the anointing because of Samuel; but the story indiscriminately named the people's proclamations 'anointings'."2
And elsewhere: "And the sea Nereids anointed for themselves" - meaning they anointed - "the corpse with nectar and placed it under a rock on the shore".3
