The Arab travellers in the East became acquainted with the fruits and named them “Damu D´aud” (David’s tears) and afterward Damu Ay´ub (Job’s tears). Es-S´agh´ani, who died about the year 1260, mentions them in the Ob´ab as strenghtening and diuretic. The Arabs introduced the plant in Spain and Portugal, where it became naturalized as “lagrima de Job”.
