And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”1
- 1:7The word ‘habitus’ refers to dress or to the more general condition of the person; the word ‘figurae’ refers to the appearance of the person. The king asks how he was dressed and what he looked like in order to identify him. The next verse gives the appearance (hairy) and dress (a leather belt around his waist), confirming that this is the correct understanding of the text.(Conte)
