ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 11 v10

THE ANGEL REVOLT. TERTULLIAN: It is on account of the angels, he says, that the woman’s head is to be covered, because the angels revolted from God on account of the daughters of men. ON PRAYER 22.5.

BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS. AMBROSIASTER: The veil signifies power, and the angels are bishops. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

WHY A WOMAN OUGHT TO WEAR A VEIL. CHRYSOSTOM: Being covered is a mark of subjection and authority. It induces the woman to be humble and preserve her virtue, for the virtue and honor of the governed is to dwell in obedience. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 265.
