(23) Plutarch clearly refers to the back rather than the abdomen, for his phrase echoes Homeric expressions for striking a fleeing individual with a lance in the back (metaphrenon), between the shoulders (as in Iliad 5.40 and 56).
Thus a wound in the metaphrenon has to mean behind the lungs, and thus in the back.
