Translation
A shade-creating, wide-felted helmet, covering [sc. the head] and taking away [sc. exposure to] the sun. [It is] "Thessalian", because the Thessalian felts [or: caps] were exceptional.

Ἡλιοστερὴς κυνῆ· σκιαστική, πλατύπιλος κυνῆ, καλύπτουσα καὶ ἀφαιρουμένη τὴν ἡλίωσιν. Θεσσαλὶς δέ, διότι περισσοὶ ἦσαν οἱ Θεσσαλικοὶ πῖλοι.
