Tw, PRODUCTS OF Cyprus.

Cyprus gave its name to the metal
copper. For 1t was from this island
that the Romans got their supplies Of
the metal, which they knew as ''cyp-
rlumacs,' or, for short, 'cyprium.' in
late Latin "cuprum.' Another famous
product of the island was trec-not
the cypress, which has nothing to do
with Cyprus, but the cyprus" from
which valuable oil was made. But
