Vetting Status: high
Translation: It is a cloak [which has] a fleece [
nakos] [hanging] from the lower [
kato] parts, that is a wrapped-around hide. They[1] seem to have adopted this garment when the Athenians were under duress from the [Peisistratid] tyrants, so that the citizens would be too poor to come into town. For it stretched down to the knees.
Aristophanes [writes]: "do you not know that when the Spartans came again in force and killed many Thessalians and many companions and allies of
Hippias, [they freed] you katonake-wearers?"[2] For indeed most of the Thessalians were helping
Hippias.

Hesychius s.v., from which this sentence derives, makes the subject explicit: "Athenians".

Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 1150-53 (web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there to follow. See Henderson [below] 202-4, including (203) the suggestion that "later tradition that the tyrants of
Athens and of
Sikyon forced citizens to wear servile clothing may have been inferred from this passage". For a full argument to this effect see already D. Whitehead, "The serfs of
Sikyon",
Liverpool Classical Monthly 6 (1981) 37-41.
