[2944] In general, I would here acknowledge my indebtedness on the very difficult subject of dress to Sachs, Beiträge z. Sprach- u. Alterth.-Forsch.; to the Articles in Levy's Dictionaries; and especially to Brüll, Trachten d. Juden. The Article in Hamburger's Real-Encykl. is little more than a repetition of Brüll's. From other writers I have not been able to derive any help.
[2945] Shabb. 120 a; Jer. Shabb. 15 d.
[2946] So Landau renders one of the words in Shabb. 120 a. I need scarcely say that the rendering is very doubtful.
[2947] Deiekh Erest R. x p. 33 d.
[2948] Brüll regards this as controversial to the practices of the early Christians. But he confounds sects with the Church.

[2953] On the other hand, to walk about with shoes loosed was regarded as a mark of pride.

[2964] As to the mode of weaving such garments, see the pictorial illustration in Braunius, Vest. Sacred. Hebræor., which is reproduced, with full details for various other works, in Hartmanns Hebr. am Putzt. vol. i., explanatory notes being added at the beginning of vol. iii. Sammter's note in his edition of B. Mezia, p. 151 a, is only a reproduction of Hartmann's remarks.
[2965] Comp. Rev. i. 13.
[2966] It was worn outside (Jer. Ber. 14 c, top). This is the girdle which was not to be worn in the Temple, probably as being that of a person engaged in business.
[2967] This is the explanation of the Aruch (ed. Landau, i. p. 157 b).
[2968] Jer. Ber. 14 c, top.
[2969] Kel. xxix. 1; Ber. 23 b; 24 b, in the sense of kerchief worn in an accessible position; Pesiqt. 15 b, as lying close to the body and yet contracting dust; Jer. Ber. 4 c, line 14 from top, as used for wrapping the upper part of the body.
[2970] This passage is both curious and difficult. It seems to imply that the Aphqarsin was a garment worn in summer, close to the body, and having sleeves.

[2981] The number of knots and threads at present counted are, of course, later additions. The little tractate Tsitsith Kirchheim, Septem Libri Talm. P. pp. 22-24 is merely a summary. The various authorities on the subject - and not a few have been consulted - are more or less wanting in clearness and defective. Comp. p. 277, note 2, of this volume.
[2982] The difference between it and the Aphqarsin seems to be, that the latter was worn and fastened inside the dress. The Maaphoreth would in some measure combine the uses of the Sudar and the Aphqarsin.

[2985] Canon Westcott (Speaker's Comment. on St. John xix. 23) seems to imply that the girdle was worn outside the loose outer garment. This was not the case.

[2987] On this subject I must take leave to refer to the Bibl. Cyclopaedias and to Sketches of Jewish Social Life,' pp. 220-224.
