Translation

[Meaning] trousers, breeches,¹ or thick and unworn² sandals.
"Although [he saw that] Theodosius' belt had been loosened, the one holding up his pants around his private parts."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀναξυρίδας· φιμινάλια, βρακία, ἢ τὰ βαθέα καὶ ἄβατα ὑποδήματα. καίπερ τῷ Θεοδοσίῳ ἐκλελυμένον τὸν ἱμάντα, τὸν ἀμφὶ τὰ αἰδοῖα τὰς ἀναξυρίδας δέοντα.

Notes (3)

The headword, accusative plural, has the same or similar glossing in other lexica. It must be quoted from somewhere -- possibly the quotation given, but more probably Herodotus 1.71.2: see the ancient glosses thereto.

2'Unworn' (abata) is a corruption of 'royal' (basilika). ↩
3Procopius, Secret History 1.20 (web address 1), Belisarius (cf. beta 233) catches his wife Antonina with his adopted son Theodosius in a basement room; cf. Kaldellis (7). On Antonina and Theodosius, see epsilon 671 note.
