TUNIC'ULA (χιτωνίσκος, χιτώνιον). Diminutive of TUNICA; the diminutive sometimes indicating inferiority of quality (Plaut. Rud. ii. 6. 53. Varro ap. Non. s. TRACTUS, p. 228.); sometimes smallness of size (Turpil. ap. Non. s. STROPHIUM, p. 538.), like those exhibited by the annexed figures (Tunicula/1.1), one from a marble bas-relief, the other from a Pompeian painting. The Romans applied their word tunicula both to the male and female vest; but the Greeks made a distinction, using χιτωνίσκος in regard to men (Demosth. in Mid. p. 370. Schaeffer), and χιτώνιον with reference to women. Lucian. Lexiph. 25. Eustath. Il. xviii. 416.
