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,
Cirk R. Bejnar
