Latchet
        the thong or fastening by which the sandal was attached to the foot. It occurs int he proverbial expression in Ge 14:23 and is there used to denote something trivial or worthless. Another semi-proverbial expression in Lu 3:16 points to the fact that the office of bearing and unfastening the shoes of great personages fell to the meanest slaves.
