Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor - New Book

[Duncan Head]

So, at least in the examples I am aware of, the "linothorax" is a noun always and the "linothorex" an adjective always.

Interesting, thank you for that. I note that the LSJ actually reckons that the difference between the -ax and -ex forms is dialectical, not grammatical - that both are forms of the adjective in different dialects. I'm not really qualified to say who's the more correct, you or three eminent (but rather dated) professors (though I should have an institutional loyalty to Liddell).
