Haydock's commentary
Crown. Greek, "mitre," or ribband, ornamented with jewels, chap. x. 3. Syriac, "net-work."
New. Greek, "linen stole," which was a long robe, usually of linen, and worn both by men and women. (Calmet)
Deceived him; as he would make love to her, and thus give her an opportunity to perform what she had designed. (Haydock)
She was not actuated by the desire of being admired, but sought to deliver her people, ver. 9. (Menochius)
