One who wears a robe with signs like little gammas.[1]
"
Proclus ordered Isidore to change himself to the best way of life and to wear the cloak of philosophy; but he did not submit."[2]
[1] Similarly glossed in other lexica; cf. scholion on
Plato,
Symposium 219B. For the
τρίβων or
τριβώνιον , see
tau 954,
tau 958. LSJ Suppl. registers the diminitive
gammation as a variant of the even rarer
gammatiskon, an 'ornament on official dress' in John Lydus.
