Loros
Hi, I think the term you are looking for is LOROS- could be a typo error.
As with the Tebenna, this is kept as it is in English texts, see quotes below:
"Manuel, as the embodiment of empire, wears the loros (a long, jewel-encrusted imperial scarf)"
"Most distinctive of all is the triumphal garb: a gold scaramangion, a short-sleeved, golden purple outer tunic or dibitsion, purple outer tunic or dibitision, purple boots and the uniquely Byzantine loros - a long strip of cloth heavily studded with gems"
The 2nd site contains a particularly good description of Byzantine garments.
Hope this helps!
