Meaning
The Kouretes carry martial equipment at XXXVIII.1 and 7. The plural τεύχεα, printed elided as τεύχε’, refers to their arms, not to a finite form of τεύχω, make. The equipment belongs to the hymn's armed company and movement, where a colourless translation such as things would erase the martial setting.
