Ruben your trnaslation is exact: both spolades and thorakes were given
"autois" means "to them" in dative case not used in modern Greek.
What are the references or art interpretations that can be interpreted that the pteruges were attached?
The scalptings in the Athens museum, in the state they are now they can be interpreted both ways: and pteryges attachments on thorax and undergatment.
Spollas need not have surface under metal armor.Imagine something like the type 58 NATO webbing with pteryges hanging from the belt instead of ammo pouches. It can be both textile or hide.
