Philo uses akatakalupto coupled with kephale to refer to cloth coverings
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.
