Headword: *qoima/tion
Adler number: theta,523
Translated headword: th' cloak
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The cloak [1].
"Taking hold of [him] by th' cloak, you said 'Hello', adding [his] name."[2]
And Aristophanes [writes]: "if you are sensible, you will take hold of th' cloak, so that none of the herm-mutilators will see you."[3] That is, if you do not put it around you, but keep your genitals visible, one of the herm-mutilators will mutilate you.

Notes:
[1] This simply expands the contraction in the headword phrase.
[2] Aelian fr. 66 Hercher; cf. beta 109.
[3] Aristophanes, Lysistrata 1093-4, with comment from the scholia there. The 'herm-mutilators' were those involved in an episode of religious vandalism a few years earlier; see epsilon 3047.
