I'll jump in by way of introduction as a long time
lurker on B-Greek. The sense is a
"multi-colored/embroidered tunic". I'm an
undergraduate in Classics so I naturally tuned to the
Middle Liddle on my desk and it gives POIKILOS as
meaning "many-coloured, spotted, mottled, pied,
dappled" and " _of robes_ wrought in various colours,
broidered". In both cases with references to Homer
and forward.
Hopes this helps,
