▼3:22The word ‘mutatoria’ refers to things that change, which in the modern context would include frequent changes of style, of clothing, and of jewelry, and perhaps even plastic surgery, all of which changes one’s appearance for the sake of vanity. The word palliola could be translated as little hood, or little cape, but in the context of modern clothing, short skirt is probably more applicable. The word ‘acus’ refers to a long needle used to make embroidered cloth; a similar pin was also used in women’s hair. But since the previous word refers to a type of cloth, the translation ‘embroidery’ is better than ‘needle’ or ‘hair pin.’(Conte)
