[179] εἴλυμα σπείρων, as the Schol. interprets “εἴ πού σοι εὐτελὲς ῥάκιον τὴν ἄλλην ἐσθῆτα φρουρεῖν προβέβλητο, τοῦτο δός μοι ἵνα ἀμπίσχωμαι”. Transl. ‘a wrapper of the linen,’ which they had brought to wash, doubtless a covering of coarse canvas or cloth for packing the clothes. Thus his request is a very modest one.
