A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Petrus (search)
Petrus 23. Of NICOMEDEIA. Of the prelates, who with certain deacons and monks had to clear themselves in the third Constantinopolitan or sixth oecumenical council (A. D. 680), from the suspicion of holding the Monothelite heresy, the leader was Peter, metropolitan of Nicomedeia. Peter and his companions appeared before the council, and delivered to them, upon oath, solemn written confessions of their belief in the orthodox doctrine of two wills in Christ; the confessions were of considerable length, and all exactly alike, and are given in the original Greek with a considerable hiatus, but completely in a Latin version in the Acta Concilii CPolitani III., Actio x.; or according to one of the Latin versions of the Acta given by Hardouin, in Actio ix.

e change to a smoother class of goods indicates that the merciful hand of Time has burnished out the wrinkles and lines of care. Silk intended for crisp crape is more twisted than that for the smooth. The twist of the thread, especially that of the warp, is what gives the wrinkled appearance to the goods when taken out of the loom. Aerophanes and gauze are goods of a similar description, either white or colored. Crape is said to have been made by Ste Badour, Queen of France, A. D. 680. It was first made at Boulogne. Crape—mo-rette′. （Fabric.) A gauzy woolen fabric of fine texture, the warp being light and open, and the weft relatively heavy and fleecy. White or colored. Crap′ing—ma-chine′.

and Excalibur: But ere he dipt the surface, rose an arm Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful, And caught him by the hilt. The arts of dressing flax and wool were known in Britain previous to the conquest by Caesar, who states that the art of weaving was not known by the islanders. However this may be, an imperial manufactory of woolen and linen cloth for the use of the Roman army in Britain was established at Venta Bulgarum, since called Winchester. In Bishop Aldhelm's book, A. D. 680, in an essay on character, occurs a simile from the art of figure-weaving, in which he refers to a web woven by shuttles, filled with threads of purple and many other colors, flying from side to side, and forming a variety of figures and images. A famous specimen of embroidery of this character is preserved in the Cathedral of Bayeaux. It is a piece of linen about 19 inches in width and 67 yards in length, containing the history of the conquest of England by William of Normandy. It is supp
