Adler number: sigma,1182
Translated headword: they made camp
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Instead of "tents"; for the word [camp, stratopedon] means two things, both the armed force and the position of the armed force.[1] But it refers more properly to the position, as the field [pedon] of the army [stratos]. Stratopedon means two things, both the soldiery and the place.[2]
