Translation
A Roman garment, [named] from Tebennos, an Arcadian who first put on this outer-garment; for he sailed down the Ionian Gulf and was received by the settlers living there. Learning from him, the natives clothed themselves in the same way and called the garment a tebenneion,1 named after the inventor. But subsequently the name changed and became tebennos.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Τήβεννος· Ῥωμαϊκὴ ἐσθής, ἀπὸ Τηβέννου Ἀρκάδος, ὃς πρῶτος ταύτην τὴν χλανίδα περιεβάλετο· εἰσπλεύσας γὰρ κατὰ τὸν Ἰόνιον κόλπον καὶ ὑποδεχθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν ταύτῃ κατοικούντων. ἀφ' οὗ μαθόντες οἱ ἐγχώριοι τὸν αὐτὸν ἐνεσκευάζοντο τρόπον καὶ ἐκάλουν τὴν ἐσθῆτα τηβέννειον, ἐπώνυμον τοῦ εὑρόντος. ὕστερον δὲ παραφθαρὲν τὸ ὄνομα τήβεννος ἐκλήθη.
