Latchet
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
lach´et ( שׂרוך , serōkh ; ἱμάς , himás ): Leather thong used for tying on sandals (see Genesis 14:23; Mark 1:7 parallel). The stooping to untie the dusty shoe-latchet was esteemed by Orientals a service that was at once petty and defiling, and was usually assigned to menials.
