George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 10:5

“And she gave to her maid a bottle of wine to carry, and a vessel of oil, and parched corn, and dry figs, and bread and cheese, and went out.”

“Bottle; made of leather, (Calmet) used for carrying wine. (Pollox.) (Menochius) — Corn. It was eaten either steeped in water or mixed with oil. — Cheese. So the Syriac reads. Greek, “pure loaves.” (Calmet) — Why she took her provisions with her, she explains, chap. xii. 2. (Menochius)”
