UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
noun, n. | -τος
6.163 · Artifacts · Cloth, Leather, and Objects Made of Such Materials
clothing, apparel clothing as a covering
1 περιβόλαιον[a] and σκέπασμα could also be treated as derivatives based on their respective corresponding events involving the covering of an object. The derivatives would then be merely instruments for covering. Since, however, in the NT these two terms are so closely associated with clothing as covering, they are here treated in this subdomain.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
σκέπασμα. For σκέπασμα, ‘covering,’ with special reference to “clothing,” as in 1 Tim 6%, cf. the corresponding use of σκέπη in Aristeas 140 βρωτῶν καὶ ποτῶν καὶ σκέπης, *‘meat and drink and raiment.” The metaphorical use of the verb, as in Sap 51%, Sir 213, may be illustrated by P Hib 1. 3510 (c. B.c. 250) ὑπὸ ὑ[μῶ]ν σκεπαζόμε[θ]α, “we are protected by you,” and by the similar use of σκεπάω in P Lond 897#-® (a.p. 84) (= III. p. 206) ἐὰν δὲ δύνημαι σκεπάσαι ἢ ὑπὸ σκέπην τινὰ γενέσθαι.
