    Comments: Note, however, that in {S:06600900900006} it is possible to understand the first occurrence of {L:θώραξ} in the sense of ‘breastplate,’ the meaning which it normally has in other biblical contexts (for example, {S:04900601400024} and {S:05200500800014}). The passage could then be translated as ‘their breastplates were iron breastplates’ (see {D:6.39}).
