- καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἔσπευσαν, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκαν ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ γάρεμ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν, καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ἐν κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπον Ἐβασίλευσεν Εἰού.

Haydock's commentary
Garment, out of respect, as the multitude honoured Jesus Christ, Matthew xxi. 7. The pagans sometimes did the like when they carried their idols in procession. (Plutarch, in Alcib.) The king of Persia walked on carpets in the court of the guards, who were styled immortal. (Atheneus 12.)
Trumpet, according to custom, 3 Kings i. 40. (Calmet)
