Cadurcum
Cadurcum a kind of linen, which took its name from the tribe which produced it, the Cadurci, who inhabited the district now called le Quercy in Guienne (Strabo iv. p.191; nivei cadurci, Juv. 7.221). It was especially esteemed for bedding (Plin. Nat. 19.13; Juv. 6.537), and also used for garments (Plin. Nat. 19.8), bandages (Sulpicia ap. Schol. Juv. l.c.), tents (Plin. l.c.; Juv. 7.221, Schol.)
