Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

σιμικίνθιον, on its only occurrence in the NT, Ac 1013, is usually rendered “‘apron” (so AV, RV), like the Lat. semrcinctéwum (Mart. 14. 153, Petr. 94. 8), but Nestle (2xp 7 xiii. p. 282) thinks the reference must be, not to an apron worn above the regular clothing, but to some article of underwear which had been in actual contact with the Apostle’s skin (ἀπὸ τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ), and compares the merit attached to the Pope’s ‘‘stockings’’ in certain Roman Catholic circles at the present day. For the form σιμικίνθιον for σημικίνθιον see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 172.
