STRONGS G3374:
μηλωτή,
μηλωτης,
ἡ (from
μῆλον sheep, also a goat; as
καμηλωτη (`camlet') from
κάμηλος (cf. Lob. Paralip., p. 332)),
a sheepskin:
Hebrews 11:37, and thence in
Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 17, 1 [ET]. For
אַדֶּרֶת an outer robe, mantle, the
Sept. in
1 Kings 19:13,
19;
2 Kings 2:8,
13f, doubtless because these mantles were made of skins; hence, more closely
שֵׂעָר אַדֶּרֶת, a mantle of hair,
Zechariah 13:4 (where the
Sept. δέρρις τριχινη). In the Byzantine writings (
Apoll. Dysk. 191, 9)
μηλοτη denotes a monk's garment.
