peine2 (s.xii/xiii)

The form pigne is a cross reference to the following entry:

peine2 (s.xii/xiii)

peigne,  pene,  penie;  peyne;  pigne;  pyne,  pyngne; 
pl. peynis  (pynde  Rot Parl1 iv 221)  
  FEW:  pecten 8,101a Gdf: GdfC:  peigne 10,304b TL: peigne 7,548 DEAF:  peigne  DMF:  peigne  TLF:  peigne  OED: MED: DMLBS:  pecten 2160b

The definition ‘kind of fish, plaice’ is suggested by the DMLBS as sense 3 sub pecten. However, pecten is the genus name of ‘scallops’ (which was the definition preferred in AND1 sub peine3). It is impossible in the context of these Port Books to determine exactly which commodity is referred to, and both senses are therefore included (cf. FEW pecten 8,103b: ‘coquille de Saint-Jacques’ and ‘poisson du genre gobie’).
