σιρικός for σηρικός, “silken,” is read by all uncials in Rev 1813: cf. 7G XIV. 785% σιρικοποιός, and 70 III. ii. 35132 (v/a.D.) oiptkaptos, The adj. is formed from the name of the Indian (or Chinese) people from whom silk was first obtained—ot Apes. Boisacq (p. 861 f.) suggests that both the fabric and the tribe got their Greek names by popular etymology from the native name of the fabric.
