Ah yes you are right, this is simply "simile" 
The biblical quotes are situated in the centre of the page, and they refer to "setim" - no doubt the same as "shittim". Yes, that's of the Acacia genus, as I wrote above.
The question is why Nicolas de Lyra (are these his comments) calls it "anchiton"? All in all, looks like a Greek word, as I noted back then in my blogpost dedicated to f116v. But I failed to find it in a dictionary.
