    "description": "In what appears to be a development of the motif of the gratitude for the shield (originating from dedicatory epigrams: see internal references, particularly 6.141, 6.124, 6.125), the weapon is seen transcending its role in warfare to include its use as an emergency raft after a shipwreck, an anecdotal curiosity that inspires later authors.
