Headword:
Gnapheus
Adler number: gamma,330
Translated headword: fuller
Vetting Status: high
Translation: It is applied to washing in the evangelist Mark in the chapter of [ = on] the Transfiguration.[1]
But in the kappa [entry]:[2] there lies a usage of
Aristophanes, thus: "if the fullers supplied cloaks to those who needed them, whenever the sun first turned, then pleurisy would never get any of you."[3]
And it seems that the [word] "fuller" [
knapheus], from
chlaina ["cloak"], is applied to skins.
