Tribon

（τρίβων). A garment worn in Doric States by men and ephebi, generally in a double fold over the chiton. It was considerably shorter than the himation (q. v.). At Athens also there was a tendency to imitate Spartan simplicity, especially on the part of the philosophers, among whom this garment was worn chiefly by the Cynics (Auson. Epist. 53). Cf. Abolla.
