6.172 · Artifacts · Cloth, Leather, and Objects Made of Such Materials
cloak, coat, robe any type of outer garment The choice of an equivalent for these terms relating to ‘outer garments’ will depend largely upon the specific context and the usage in each receptor language. The most common equivalent is a term meaning ‘coat.’
1 There are no doubt certain minor distinctions in meaning for the four terms in 6.172, but it is impossible to determine the distinctive features on the basis of existing contexts. There are considerable differences of opinion about φαιλόνης, regarded by many as a loan word from Latin paenula.
