Translation:
A light and sheer garment, not necessarily purple, as some thought. Thus Nikostratos [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]
Greek Original:
Ταραντενίδιον: λεπτὸν καὶ διαφανὲς ἱμάτιον, οὐ πάντως πορφυροῦν, ὥς τινες ὑπέλαβον. οὕτως Νικόστρατος. ἡ δὲ τὸ διάδημα, ὅπερ οὖν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς εἶχε σύμβολον δὴ καὶ μαρτύριον ἀρχῆς, περισπάσασα, εἶτα μέντοι τῷ τραχήλῳ περιβαλοῦσα [τὸ δὲ ἦν ταραντενίδιον λεπτόν τε καὶ ἀσθενές], ἐπεὶ μόνον ἐτάθη, κᾆτα ἀπορρήγνυται. ἡ δὲ περιαλγεῖ.
