στήμων & κρόκη (Lev.13:55) Warp and woof

Post by Stephen Hughes »

Which of these means the inside and which the outside? Was one dress and the other rough?
καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτὸ τὴν ἁφήν καὶ ἥδε μὴ μετέβαλεν τὴν ὄψιν ἡ ἁφή καὶ ἡ ἁφὴ οὐ διαχεῖται ἀκάθαρτόν ἐστιν ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐστήρισται ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ
Γελᾷ δ' ὁ μωρός, κἄν τι μὴ γέλοιον ᾖ
(Menander, Γνῶμαι μονόστιχοι 108)
