cloth refiner

  • 1 γναφεύς

    γναφεύς, έως, ὁ (Hdt. et al.; the older spelling was κναφεύς [s. Kühner-Bl. I 147f; Meisterhans3-Schw. 74, 1; Schwyzer I 343]; the form w. γν. as early as an Att. ins of IV B.C., and gener. in the Ptolemaic pap [Mayser 170, further ref. there], also Mitt-Wilck., I/2, 315, 8 [88 A.D.]; LXX. But κν. reappears, as e.g. Dio Chrys. 55 [72], 4; Artem. 4, 33 p. 224, 4; Diog. L. 5, 36; Celsus 3, 55) gener. a specialist in one or more of the processes in the treatment of cloth, incl. fulling, carding, cleaning, bleaching. Since the Eng. term ‘fuller’ refers to one who shrinks and thickens cloth, a more general rendering such as cloth refiner is required to cover the various components. In our lit. (only Mk 9:3) ref. is to the bleaching aspect, without suggesting that the term applies only to one engaged in that particular feature. Hence such glosses as ‘bleacher’ or ‘fuller’ would overly limit the professional niche.—DELG s.v. κνάπτω. M-M.
