16. "His name written on His vesture and on His thigh," was
written partly on the vesture, partly on the thigh itself, at the part
where in an equestrian figure the robe drops from the thigh. The
thigh symbolizes Christ's humanity as having come, after the
flesh, from the loins of David, and now appearing as the
glorified "Son of man." On the other hand, His incommunicable divine
name, "which no man knew," is on His head
(Re 19:12),
[MENOCHIUS].
KING OF KINGS--Compare
