Translation
[Meaning] the supporter of the sword and [that] of the shield.1
Iamblichus [writes]: "putting the straps around his hands, he bound him to the bed."2
And [it also means] linen cut up into small [strips]. Herodotus [writes]: "but the Persians took the greatest care, treating his wounds with myrrh and wrapping them around with bands of fine linen cloth."3

Τελαμών· ὁ ἀναφορεὺς τοῦ ξίφους καὶ τῆς ἀσπίδος. Ἰάμβλιχος· περιβαλὼν δὲ περὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ τοὺς τελαμῶνας προσέδησε τῇ κλίνῃ. καὶ ἡ εἰς λεπτὰ κατακεκομμένη ὀθόνη. Ἡρόδοτος· οἱ δὲ Πέρσαι περὶ πλείστου ἐποιήσαντο, σμύρνῃσί τε ἰώμενοι τὰ ἕλκεα καὶ σινδόνος βυσσίνης τελαμῶσι κατειλίσσοντες.
