If your readers would not be familiar **myrrh** you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternately, you could describe what myrrh is in context (since it was used in different things) with a descriptive phrase and/or you could include a footnote explaining what myrrh is if you are using footnotes in your translation.
