[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.
