Linothorax design/construction

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Paul, you have said many times that when he is saying "thorakes" he means bronze ones. And that when saying spolas(only one or two times in his whole work) he means the tube and yoke thorax. And here you based the arguement that the phrase "spolades te kai thorakes" it means Bronze cuirasses and tube and yoke cuirasses. You're refering to this as if it is obvious and you say very easily that for Xenophon a thorax is bronze unless otherwise specified. Well it isn't that obvious. And if I'm misquoting you,here,the thread is open for everyone to read.
And by the way,it is strange that very often people are "misquoting" you even in threads I have not writen a word.It seems you noted that yourself.
Ok,then,from now on I'll be posting your exact words with my replies,if that makes you more comfortable.
