Translation:
[Meaning a] light and sheer garment, not necessarily purple, as some thought. Thus Nicostratus [writes].[1]
"Taking off the diadem which she wore on her head as a symbol and a witness of her authority, she then put it around her neck (it was a little Tarentine shawl, light and weak); as soon as it was stretched out, then it tore apart. And she was aggrieved."[2]
