Агнец скифский (лат. Agnus Scythicus) — название
листвяка, Cibotium Barometz J. Sm, папоротника из
семейства Cyatheaceae, водящегося в теплых
странах юго-восточной Азии,
преимущественно на Зондских,
Филиппинских островах и т. д. (Brockhaus & Efron).
In Russian dialects means "Лиственничный лес,
деревья" (Slovar' russkikh narodnykh govorov. Vol. 17. P. 65). One
can find more connotations here. 
Cf. [листвяк] in Kropotknin's Zapiski Revolutsionera, part 1,
Sibir'.

As to the word "изликны" it depends... If you're translating Markov
or Bushkov there is a chance this is a pseudo-word created on a basis of
"излих" (an evil person), or other words with the same root - cf.
SRNG, v. 12, p. 139.

Full context, of course, would give more clues.

Regards,
Vadim
