[1] Likewise or similarly in the 
Synagoge and other lexica (beginning with 
Hesychius chi299). The Latin is 
mantelium, a variant of 
mantelum. Other variants include 
mantele, 
mantile, and 
mantilium. See the entry in L&S s.v. 
mantele at web address 1 below. 
[2] The proper etymology of the Latin word is from 
manus ("hand") and 
telum, perhaps cognate with 
tergeo ("to wipe"), cf. Umbrian 
mandraclo ("towel"), and therefore semantically similar to the Greek etymology, although using different IE roots.
