         Comments: The phrase τὸν νῶτον … συγκάμπτειν may be regarded as an idiom, since its meaning may be to suffer oppression and trouble. An equivalent expression for ‘and bend their backs forever’ ({S:04501101000020}) may be ‘to make them slaves forever’ or ‘to make them toil hard forever’ (see {D:24.94}).
