DIP'LOIS (διπλοἷς, δίπλαξ). A doubled cloak; i. e. a pallium, or other article of the outward apparel (amictus), which, when put on, was partly doubled back in the same manner as women do their shawls, in consequence of being too large to be conveniently worn single. It belonged to the Grecian costume (Isidor. Orig. xix. 24. 11.), was affected by the Cynic philosophers (Hor. Ep. i. 17. 25. Acron. ad l.), and is very clearly represented in the annexed figure (Diplois/1.1) of Juno, from a fictile vase, as well as on a statue of Minerva in the Vatican. Mus. Pio-Clem. iii. 37.
