SINDON, in Scripture Hijlory, a word properly fignify- 

 ing a ftiroud, and ufed by the evangelifts to denote the linen 

 cloth in wliich Jofeph of Arimathea wrapped the body of 

 Jefus, after its embalment, &c. (Matth. xxvii. 59. Mark, 

 XV. 46. Luke, xxiii. 53. John, xx. 7.) Sindon is alfo men- 

 tioned in the hiftory of Samfon. (Judges, xiv. 12, 13.) The 

 virtuous woman mentioned by Solomon (Prov. xxxi. 24.) 

 made findons and girdles, which ftie fold to the Phoenicians. 

 The young women of Jerufalem wore findons. (See 

 If. iii. 23.) This was a faftiion peculiar to the Sidonians 

 and the Phoenicians, and perhaps the name was derived from 

 the city of Sidon. Martial lays, that the findon of Tyre, 

 or Phoenicia, covers a man all over, and puts him in a con- 

 dition to defpife rain and wind. 



" Ridebis ventos, hoc munere teftus, et imbres 



Nee fie in Syria Sindone teftus eris." Mart. 1. iv. ep. 19.

 to pour a few drops of white baUam on the dura mater ; 

 then a fpoonful of mel rofatum being warmed with a little 

 balfam, a findon is dipped into it, of fine linen cloth : this 

 is immediately applied upon the dura mater ; and being 

 greater than the hole in the fliull, its circumference is thruft 

 all round between the cranium and the membrane ; then 

 pledgets of lint are applied, and the hole is quite flopped 

 with it. The next morning, when the drefling is taken 

 off, the brain is never left bare a moment ; but as foon as 

 the former findon and lint are removed, new ones are clapped 

 on in their room.
