σηρικός [page 573] for σηρικός , silken, is read by all uncials in Rev_18:12 : cf. IG XIV. 785 .4 σιρικοποιός , and IG III. ii. 3513 .2 (v/A.D.) σιρικάριος . The adj. is formed from the name of the Indian (or Chinese) people from whom silk was first obtained οἱ Σῆρες . Boisacq (p. 861 f. ) suggests that both the fabric and the tribe got their Greek names by popular etymology from the native name of the fabric.
