    • 1884, Richard F[rancis] Burton, “The Sword in Babylonia, Assyria, and Persia, and Ancient India”, in The Book of the Sword, London: Chatto and Windus, [], →OCLC, pages 205–206:
      The longer weapon is carried by a narrow bauldric slung over the right shoulder and meeting another cord-shaped band at the breast, in fact suggesting our antiquated cross-belts. The Sword is always worn on the left side. [] A soldier's bauldric is coloured red, like the wood of the bows and arrows.
