Summary:
Piper longum (image by Lemmikkipuu, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0). The medicinal spice familiar to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates was the Long Pepper (Piper longum), and not the Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) so popular with the culinary arts today. Long Pepper was known to the Greeks in the 5th or 6th centuries BCE. Later, Theophrastus (371–287 BC) mentioned it in both in his botanical works.
