[Sca-cooks] what is 'shuniz'?

[Volker Bach]

(apologies for the crosspost)

I am trying to reproduce 'Milh Mutayyab' spice mixture and I am wondering 
 about one ingredient. Arberry's translation renders it as 'shuniz'. In the 
 Perry translation of the 'Description of Familiar Foods' a parallel recipe 
 lists the same ingredients, but in place of 'shuniz' it has nigella. 
 
 Is it reasonable to assume 'shuniz' is nigella?
 
 Grazie
