Default Edibility of Parietaria judaica (pellitory)

Parietaria judaica (pellitory) is about the only thing growing
vigorously (as a weed) in my winter garden.

Sturtevant's Notes on Edible Plants mentions that Parietaria
officinalis was eaten in classical times. I can't find any followups
to this, apart from stuff in "natural magick" web pages and its
reported use as a deodorant for cats (armpits?).

My question is can I safely eat Parietaria judaica?
