PODE'RES or PODE'RIS (ποδήρης). Literally reaching down to the feet; a Greek word, applied adjectively in that language to any garment of the dimensions stated, for which the genuine Latin expression is TALARIS; but the writers of the Christian period made use of the term in a substantive sense to designate a long linen robe, fitting close to the body and reaching to the feet, which was worn by the Jewish priests. Isidor. Orig. xix. 21. 2. Tertull. adv. Jud. 11.
