The Instructor 2.12.122

But love of finery, which cares least for virtue and lays claim to the body, the love of beauty having turned aside into vanity, must be thrown out altogether. For by attaching to the body what is not its own as if it were its own, it has bred the practice of lying and the habit of deceit, showing not what is dignified, unaffected, and truly childlike, but what is pompous, soft, and luxurious. Those women obscure true beauty by shading it with gold, and do not know what an offense it is, putting on themselves countless rich chains, as among the barbarians, they say, criminals are bound with gold. Women seem to me to have emulated these rich prisoners. For is not the golden necklace a collar, and are not the twisted bands the same? The pendants called kathetēres, being like chains, are called by that very name, “chains,” among the Athenians. And Philemon, in The Fellow Youth, called the women's indecent ornaments around their feet “ankle fetters”: “see-through garments and some golden fetter.”
