signifies "what is woven" (from pleko, "to weave, plait"), whether a net or basket (Josephus uses it of the ark of bulrushes in which the infant Moses was laid), or of a web, plait, braid. It is used in 1 Timothy 2:9 , of "braided hair," which the Vulgate signifies as "ringlets, curls."
Notes: (1) Cp. emploke, 1 Peter 3:3 , "plaiting," i.e., intertwining the hair in ornament. (2) "Broided" is to be distinguished from broidered, which means to adorn with needlework (not to plait).Copyright Statement
