         Comments: In some languages the normal equivalent of στρατιώτης would be ‘one who carries a gun,’ but such an expression would be completely anachronistic. Some translators have attempted to substitute a phrase such as ‘one who carries a sword,’ but this has failed in most cases since it suggests merely individual violence instead of organized warfare. It may therefore be important to use a phrase such as ‘one who fights under command’ or ‘one who is charged by the rulers to fight.’
