Pull out your belt, slide the top of the pouch under the belt until the belt is about half way through the belt. Let the top of the pouch fall and let go of the belt.
Another method I have found is when you wear your chiton on one shoulder only the extra cloth makes a pouch area above the belt where you can carry stuff..
But this is all assuming that they carried pouches. ITs a historical novel and I an not sure where he got the notion but with the accuracy of other small points I would like to believe that its based on some historical notion. In H. N. Turtletaub's seafaring books of the Ancient Greeks he talks about them keeping small change in the tobacco pouch of the lower lip.
From the Birds,
EUELPIDES By Zeus! that's what I did myself one day on seeing a kite;
but at the moment I was on my knees, and leaning backwards with mouth
agape, I bolted an obolus and was forced to carry my meal-sack home
empty.
