τήβεννα, ἡ, also τήβεννος, ἡ, D.H. 3.61, Plu. Rom. 26, Cor. 9, etc.,
  • = Lat. toga (incl. its varieties the trabea, etc.), Inscr.Délos 1442 B 34 (ii B.C.), Plb. 10.4.8, D.H. 2.70, 3.61, 5.47, 6.13, D.S. 5.40; worn by Antiochus Epiphanes, Plb. 26.1A.2, Ptol.Euerg. 3 J.: said to be derived from Τήμενος (Τήβεννος Suid.) the Arcadian, Artem. 2.3, cf. Poll. 7.61 (where τηβεννίς is prob. cj. for τημενίς); but D.H. 3.61 expressly doubts its Hellenic origin. (The form of the word, and the context in D.H. l.c., suggest that it is Etruscan, but K. O. Müllerʼs conjecture Τυρρηνοί for τύραννοι in EM 756.26 is doubtful.)
