Headword: Ἔγκυκλον
Adler number: epsilon,135
Translated headword: upper garment, shawl, wrap
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Cloak.
Aristophanes [says], "I would, even if I had to pawn this shawl." [1] And elsewhere, "Bring a shawl." "Take this one from the couch." [2] And [it is] clear that the ἐγκυκλον is a cloak, but the κροκωτός ["saffron-dyed"] is a garment.[3]
Greek Original:
Ἔγκυκλον: ἱμάτιον. Ἀριστοφάνης: ἐγώ γ' ἂν κἂν εἴ με χρεῖ' ᾖ τοὔγκυκλον τουτὶ καταθεῖσαν. καὶ ἀλλαχοῦ: φέρ' ἔγκυκλον τουτὶ λάμβαν' ἀπὸ τῆς κλινίδος. καὶ δῆλον, ὡς τὸ μὲν ἔγκυκλόν ἐστιν ἱμάτιον, ὁ δὲ κροκωτὸς ἔνδυμα.
