Philo uses akatakalupto coupled with kephale to refer to cloth coverings

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 02:18:54 – 02:20:55

Mike provides first-century textual evidence for cloth covering meaning.

Philo, a first-century Jewish writer using similar Greek, describes a woman in Jewish ritual with her 'head uncovered' (akatakalupto + kephale) -- referring to cloth covering being removed. The preceding sentence describes a headdress being taken from her head. This is directly relevant to Paul's time and language usage.
