No apology necessary :-)
Who are some of these knowledgeable folks ?
Anybody from Aish or Orthodox circles ?

I don't see it, although I could check Soncino . or maybe I'm missing it.

A friend Craig posted on my email forum, saying it was otherwise an oral

The Zohar says:
"a cord was tied to feet of high priest before he entered the Holy of Holies"
(Zohar V (on Vayikra), 102a)
