Notes: Note, however, that in OET REV 9:9 it is possible to understand the first occurrence of θώραξ in the sense of ‘breastplate,’ the meaning which it normally has in other biblical contexts (for example, OET EPH 6:14 and OET TH1 5:8). The passage could then be translated as ‘their breastplates were iron breastplates’ (see 6.39: θώραξ).
