Usage notes

In the time of ʿUmar a زُنَّار‎ (zunnār) would mean a belt worn by Christians, Jews, Sabians, Magians and other non-Muslims; for it had become fashionable in the Byzantine Empire under Diocletian and Constantine to wear a ζώνη (zṓnē) or cingulum which was first a symbol of servitude in public office and then in religious office. For Zoroastrians parallelly the conviction developed to wear a كُسْتِيج‎ (kustīj, “belt”), whereas Babylonian Jews wore a هِمْيَان‎ (himyān) הֶמְיָנָא‎ (hemyānā, “belt”). Public officials in the Iranian empire wore a كَمَر‎ (kamar, “belt”) without which no Iranian of distinction would go out, termed in Arabic مِنْطَقَة‎ (minṭaqa, “belt”). With the new Muslim rulers the former girdles were imposed and the كَمَر‎ (kamar) or مِنْطَقَة‎ (minṭaqa) prohibited for non-Muslims. An Arabic term for “girdle” neutral from the beginning is حِزَام‎ (ḥizām).
