Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κιννάμωμον, καὶ ἄμωμον
cinnamon and amomum
Since cinnamon is one kind of spice, John means implicitly that cinnamon was one example of the spices that the merchants sold. You can indicate this your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “cinnamon and other spices”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
κιννάμωμον, καὶ ἄμωμον
cinnamon and amomum
The word cinnamon describes a fragrant spice that people make from the bark of a certain tree. If your readers would not be familiar with what cinnamon is, you could use a general term. Alternate translation: “spice from tree bark and other spices”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
θυμιάματα, καὶ μύρον, καὶ λίβανον
incenses and ointment and frankincense
Since myrrh and frankincense are two kinds of incense, John means implicitly that these are two examples of the incense that the merchants sold. You can indicate this your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “myrrh and frankincense and other kinds of incense”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων
˱of˲_bodies and souls ˱of˲_humans
In this context, the expressions bodies and souls of men mean the same thing. John is using the two terms together for emphasis. He is first stating how things look on the outside: The bodies of the slaves whom the merchants are trading appear to be just another physical cargo. But John is then stating the real truth: This traffic in slaves is a traffic in human souls. You could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “slaves, that is, the souls of men”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων
souls ˱of˲_humans
Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “human souls”
18:13 bodies: Rome developed a huge slave market, which some historians have estimated at nearly 20% of the population.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
