SEMICINC'TIUM. A cloth fastened round the loins for the same objects and purposes as the kilt (cinctus), but of smaller dimensions, or, as the name implies, not exceeding half the width of that object. (Isidor. Orig. xix. 33. 1. Pet. Sat. 94. 8. Mart. xiv. 153.) In the annexed illustration (Semicinctium/1.1) it is worn by Daedalus on an engraved gem; and a similar article is frequently met with in sculpture and painting on persons engaged in active occupations.
