|txtha=δεξιολαβου, ὁ ([[δεξιός]] and [[λαμβάνω]]), a [[word]] [[unknown]] to the earlier writings, [[found]] in Constantinus Porphyrogenitus (900-999>10th [[century]]) de [[them]]. 1,1, [[who]] speaks of δεξιολαβοι, as a [[kind]] of soldiers, in [[company]] [[with]] bowmen (τοξοφοροι) and peltasts; ([[they]] are [[also]] mentioned by Theophylact Simocatta (hist. 4,1) in the 600-699>7th [[century]]; [[see]] the quotations in Meyer). Since in spearmen are referred to ([[carrying]] a [[lance]] in the [[right]] [[hand]]); and so the Vulg. has taken it. The [[great]] [[number]] [[spoken]] of conflicts [[with]] the [[interpretation]] of those [[who]] [[suppose]] [[them]] to be soldiers whose [[duty]] it [[was]] to [[guard]] captives [[bound]] by a [[chain]] on the [[right]] [[hand]]. Meyer at the [[passage]] understands [[them]] to be ([[either]]) [[javelin]] men (or slingers). | |||
