The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean: The Ancient World Economy & The Kingdoms of Africa, Arabia & India, Raoul McLaughlin, c. 2014, 2018.

Balsam, pp. 42++:

The study of balsam demonstrates the desirability of incense as a commodity worth the effort and expense of distant trade. The healing ointment referred to the "balm" in the Old Testament is believed to be a unique form of myrrh known as balsam and ancient records suggest that the Jewish kingdom of Judea had a monopoly on this valuable substance. Balsam was highly sought after for medical properties and raised enormous revenues for whatever regime controlled its production.

Balsam became extinct during the sixth century AD when serious revolts in Palestine were followed by Persian and Islamic invasions. No living samples of the balsam plant exist, but archaeologists have recovered evidence of balsam resins in ancient containers.
An empty jar was found at Masada bearing the scratched-on words "balsam juice" in Aramaic letters, while at caves near Qumran an intact jug was found wrapped in palm fibres and crammed between some rocks. The jugs were inscribed with "Preparation B."

Just kidding. I made up that last line about "Preparation B."
