         DefinitionShort: linen cloth of good quality

         Glosses: linen cloth

         Comments: In a number of languages there is no term for ‘linen,’ and though a word for ‘linen’ may be borrowed, what is important in the NT contexts in which σινδών occurs is primarily the quality of the cloth, not the material of which it was made. Accordingly, any translators have used an expression such as ‘fine cloth’ or ‘good cloth.’
