{Clothed with camel's hair} (endedumenos trichas kam(886c)ou).
Matthew ( Mt 3:4 ) has it a garment (enduma) of camel's hair.
Mark has it in the accusative plural the object of the perfect
passive participle retained according to a common Greek idiom. It
was, of course, not camel's skin, but rough cloth woven of
camel's hair. For the locusts and wild honey, see on 烘t 3:4|.
Dried locusts are considered palatable and the wild honey, or
"mountain honey" as some versions give it (meli agrion), was
bountiful in the clefts of the rocks. Some Bedouins make their
living yet by gathering this wild honey out of the rocks.
