EPIC'ROCUM (ἐπίκροκον). Properly, a Greek word, used to designate a woman's garment; but whether it meant of a fine texture, or of a saffron colour, is matter of doubt, for it may be derived from κρόκη (subtemen), or from κρόκος (crocus). Naevius ap. Varro, L. L. vii. 5. Varro, ap. Non. s. Habitare, p. 318. Festus, s. v.
