Haydock's commentary
Plate; reaching from ear to ear, two fingers' breadth, tied behind like a diadem, Wisdom xviii. 24.
Holy, or "sanctity, belongeth to the Lord," and all who approach to Him, ought to be holy. (Calmet)
Josephus represents the ornaments of the high priest's head, like the triple crown of the pope. (Antiquities iii. 8.)
