Dan,
Is term here you translate as aketon always used for an over garment? Medieval sources aren't nearly as strict in their terms as we are.
I've been chasing down a highly idiosyncratic used of 'skiagraphia' which has a fairly solid usage in Classical greek, but has a far more diverse meaning in the Koine and Middle Greek.
Not certain, just asking.
