Augustine of Hippo : And you will make a gown of hyacinth, which hangs up to the heels. And you shall make an opening in the middle of it, to take out its head, that is, what the Greeks call peristomium. This opening will have around a woven border, an interwoven opening, that is, the border should not be sewn on the outside. This is what seems to mean interwoven aperture. That is why he adds later: From it, so that it does not break, that is, from the opening itself, the border must be sewn with the dress. — QUESTIONS ON EXODUS, Q. 118 (tr. J. Litteral, draft)
