Khairete;
just more textual references to "linothorax", I think not yet discussed here:
An anonimous verse from Anthologia Palatina (Snodgrass thinks it can be dated in Archilocus' time, but I must read more about the dating of this poem; the greek anthology contains much mixed stuff)
-Book XIV, poem 73: "argeioi linothorekes" "Argives linen-cuirassed"
The poem contains archaisms (or deliberate archaisms) like genitive in "-oio"
-Strabo, 3.3.6: "(lusitanoi) linothorakes hoi pleious; spanioi de halusidotois khrontai..." "Most of the (lusitanes) are linen-cuirassed, a few use chianmail..."
-Xenophon, Cyropaedia, 6.4.2
"epei d' emelle ton linoun thoraka, hos epikhorios en autois, enduesthai..."
"When he (Abradatas) was going to put on the linen thorax, which is a costum/fashion of his country..."
regards
