CID'ARIS (κίδαρις and κίταρις). The royal bonnet worn by the kings of Persia, Armenia, and Parthia, which had a tall, stiff, and straight crown, encircled by a blue diadem ornamented with white spots (Curt. iii. 3.). All these particulars, with the exception of the colour, are distinctly visible in the illustration (Cidaris/1.1), which represents Tigranes, king of Armenia, from a Syrian model.

2. The bonnet worn by the high-priest of the Jews. Hieron. Epist. 64. 2. and 13.
