The dress of the Babylonians is a linen tunic reaching to the feet,
and above it another tunic made in wool, besides which they have a
short white cloak thrown round them, and shoes of a peculiar fashion,
not unlike those worn by the Boeotians. They have long hair, wear
turbans on their heads, and anoint their whole body with perfumes.
Every one carries a seal, and a walking-stick, carved at the top
into the form of an apple, a rose, a lily, an eagle, or something
similar; for it is not their habit to use a stick without an ornament.
