κομάω [page 353]
An interesting illustration of this verb, which in Bibl. Greek is confined to 1Co_11:14 f. , is afforded by BGU 1. 16 .11 (A.D. 159 160) (= Selections , p. 84), where a charge is brought against a priest of letting his hair grow too long and of wearing woollen garments ὡς κομῶντος [κ ]αὶ χρω [μ ]ένου ἐρεαῖς ἐσθήσεσι : cf. Herod. ii. 36 f.
Liddell-Scott — Intermediate Greek Lexicon
κομάω κομάω, [Etym: κόμη] "to let the hair grow long, wear long hair", Il. ; κομέειν τὴν κεφαλήν Hdt. In early times the Greeks wore their hair long, whence κάρη κομόωντες Ἀχαιοί in Hom. At Sparta the fashion continued. At Athens it was so worn by youths up to the 18th year, when they offered their long locks to some deity; and to wear long hair was considered as a sign of aristocratic habits: hence κομᾶν meant "to plume oneself, give oneself airs, be proud or haughty", like Lat. cristam tollere, Ar. ; οὗτος ἐκόμησε ἐπὶ τυραννίδι "he aimed at" the monarchy, Hdt. ; ἐπὶ τῷ κομᾷς; on what "do you plume yourself?" Ar. of horses, χρυσέῃσιν ἐθείρῃσιν κομόωντε "decked" with golden manes, Il. metaph. of trees, plants, foliage, Hhymn. , etc.
