[Meaning] the thick cloak.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ξυστίδα· τὸ παχὺ ἱμάτιον.

Betacode

*custi/da: to\ paxu\ i(ma/tion.

Adler notes, without further explanation, that Bernhardy regarded 'thick' here as textually corrupt; it would be inconsistent with xi 167.
For the xystis cf. already xi 167, and see again xi 169.
In xi 167 and again here the headword is in the accusative case, evidently quoted from somewhere.
