σινδών

Strong’s: G4616

Associated OET lemmas: σινδών

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, f.

Inflections: σινδών; -όνος

Sense 1: linen cloth

Semantic entry: 6.155

Semantic domains: Artifacts

Subdomains: Cloth, Leather, and Objects Made of Such Materials

Definition: linen cloth of good quality

Notes: 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.’
