         DefinitionShort: leather strap or thong (used in binding sandals or shoes and as thongs in a whip)

         Glosses: ['strap', 'thong']

         Comments: In a number of languages ἱμάς[a] may be translated as ‘leather string’ or ‘strip of leather.’ In {S:04300102700028} the term may be absorbed within the total expression, for example, worthy to untie his sandals (implying the untying of the straps with which the sandals were bound).|In {S:04402202500012} the clause ὡς δὲ προέτειναν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν may be interpreted as ‘they tied him up with thongs’ or as ‘they tied him up for whipping,’ in which case ἱμᾶσιν would refer to an event, not to an object (see {D:19.9}).
