Translation
[Referring to a] sleeved himation. But some [say that it is a] servile [garment], or a short tunic. The [himation] of the workmen was single-armholed, where they used to sew up the one armhole. Aristophanes [writes]: "you never thought him worthy of a double-armholer."

Ἀμφιμάσχαλος· χειριδωτὸν ἱμάτιον. οἱ δὲ δουλικὸν, ἢ μικρὸν χιτωνίσκον. ἦν δὲ ἑτερομάσχαλος ὁ τῶν ἐργατῶν, οὗ τὴν μίαν μασχάλην ἔρραπτον. Ἀριστοφάνης· οὐπώποτ' ἀμφιμασχάλου τὸν δ' ἠξίωσας.
