Ezekiel23:25

Shall take away thy nose - A punishment frequent among the Persians and Chaldeans, as ancient authors tell. Adulteries were punished in this way; and to this Martial refers: -

Quis tibi persuasit nares abscindere moecho? "Who has counselled thee to cut off the adulterer's nose?"

Women were thus treated in Egypt. See Calmet.
