I guess the abbreviation highlighted in blue is the name of the author who discussed this legend. I have been unable to identify him or find another discussion of this legend. If it really reads "is" it could be Isidore of Seville, but I really can't tell.

I wonder if this is not a capital D, in which case Dioscurides would be a good option.

Edit: I see this has already been suggested and tested.
