Exegesis
The predicate sequence araphos ek tōn anōthen huphantos di’ holou {ἄραφος ἐκ τῶν ἄνωθεν ὑφαντὸς διʼ ὅλου | áraphos ek tōn ánōthen hyphantós di' hólou} combines an adjective, a prepositional phrase of source, and a participial descriptor to portray the tunic as a single, continuous piece woven from the top throughout. In translation, the aorist verbs are rendered with English past perfect or simple past to capture completed actions, the distributive dative is brought out with “for each soldier,” and the dense description of the tunic is expressed with “seamless” and “woven from the top throughout” in formal and a more explanatory “made in one piece from top to bottom” in dynamic, preserving both the craftsmanship imagery and the implied indivisibility of the garment.
