- καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀναγγέλλοντι Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑόρακας· τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐπάταξας αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γῆν; καὶ ἐγὼ ἂν δεδώκειν σοι δέκα ἀργυρίου καὶ παραζώνην μίαν.

Haydock's commentary
Silver, somewhat above a guinea: sicles are not expressed in Hebrew. (Haydock)
Belt, the richest part of armour. Jonathan and Ajax made presents of their belts to David and Hector, 1 Kings xviii. 4. (Homer, Iliad H.) See Job xiii. 18. The Romans wore very splendid belts. Balteus et notis fulserunt cingula bullis. (Claud., Proserp. ii.)
