…their javelins have points that are bigger than the swords [of other people]. Some of these [javelin points] have been forged straight, but others have, along their whole length, a bent-back piece of spiral shape, in order not only to cut in the strike, but also to wound the flesh, and to mangle the wound with the withdrawal of the spear.
