Haydock's commentary
Body's. Literally, "man's." But females are included in this term. (Haydock)
It was also necessary to guard the Greeks, and pagans in general, against a criminal affection for boys.
From Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859, in the transcription made by Todd Easton and kept online by John Paul Wohlschied at johnblood.gitlab.io/haydock.
