The Armenian _pasban_ corresponds to the =epimanikion=; so does the _zando_ of the Malabar Christians. Both _pasban_ and _zando_ are worn one on each wrist; but whereas the Armenian vestment is more like the Western maniple, the _zando_ is a false sleeve, fitting the arm tightly and extending some way above the elbow. III. The =epitrachêlion= is in essence identical with the stole of the Western Church, but in form it differs widely. Instead of being a long narrow strip passed behind the neck, it is a short broad band with an aperture at one end, through which the wearer's head is passed, so that instead of two ends pendant, one at each side, there is but one, hanging down in the middle. It is probably the richest of all the Eastern vestments; it is made of silk or brocade, and in large churches is ornamented with jewels and precious metals. A seam runs conspicuously down the middle, dividing the band into two; this gives the vestment a more stole-like appearance than it would otherwise possess. [Illustration: FIG. 27.—ARCHIMANDRITE IN =phainolion, epigonation, enkolpion=, ETC.] The Armenian _poor-ourar_ and the Malabar _orro_ are the equivalents of this vestment, and resemble it in appearance. Both names are evidently corruptions of the Greek =ôrarion=. IV. The =ôrarion= is the Diaconal substitute for the =epitrachêlion=. It is identical with the Latin stole, and, like that vestment when worn by deacons, is carried on the left shoulder. St Germanus informs us that it typifies the ministry of angels, in that it resembles a pair of wings; this, like many other similar statements, may be taken for what it is worth. The sole difference between the =ôrarion= and the stole lies in its ornamentation; the latter is ornamented in a perfectly unrestricted manner, the former bears embroidered upon it the =trisagion=, =AGIOS AGIOS AGIOS=, and the Armenian Church as a general rule dispenses even with this inscription. [Illustration: FIG. 28.—BISHOP IN =phainolion, epigonation, ômophorion=, ETC.] V. The =zônê= is simply a girdle which keeps the =stoicharion= and =epitrachêlion= in place. To it answers the Armenian _kodi_ and the Malabar _zunro_. The Armenians suspend a large white napkin to the _kodi_ on the left-hand side, which is used to wipe the hands or the vessels when necessary during the service, and thus takes the place of the old Western maniple.
