Thyine wood

It was considered very valuable, and was used for making articles of furniture by the Greeks and Romans.

Craftsmen who worked in citrus wood and ivory had their own guild (collegium).

[1] Thyine wood is mentioned in the King James Version of the Bible at Revelation 18:12 as being among the articles which would cease to be purchased when Babylon fell.

This wood is also mentioned in the 1st Book of Kings, chapter 10, in a list of items brought to Solomon by the navy of Hiram.

The resin is used as the basis for euparal, a mounting medium used in microscopy.
