Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Proverbs 30:31, margin, "girt in the loins," referring to the slenderness of its body at the loins, as if tightly girt for grace and swiftness in running, so that it is classed among the "things which go well." The ancient Egyptian paintings represent such close-girt hounds used in coursing. Gesenius understands Proverbs 30:31 "a war horse with ornamental trappings girt on its loins." Maurer, "a wrestler with loins girt for the struggle."
People's Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Greyhound. Proverbs 30:31. The Hebrew word means "one well girt or knit in the loins;" see margin of the R. V.; hence it may refer to the war-horse, or to a wrestler. Comp. Job 39:19-25.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
This is literally 'girt in the loins,' and reads in the margin 'horse.' Proverbs 30:31 . It probably refers to a girded warhorse as something that 'goes well,' and is comely or stately in its going.

is the rendering given by our translators of זרְזִיר (or rather זרְזִיר מָתְניִם , Zarzir' Mothna Yim, Girded as to the Loins, as the marg. renders; Sept. Ἀλέκτωρ Ἐμεριπατῶν Θηλείαις Εὔψυχος , a cock strutting about proudly among his hens; Vulg. Gallus Suc-Cinctus Lumbos), given in Proverbs 30:31. as an instance of gracefulness in gait. Gesenius (Heb. Thes. p. 435) inclines to the opinion of Bochart (Hieroz. i, 103), Schultens (Comment. ad loc.), and others, that it denotes A War-Horse, as ornamented with girths and buckles about the loins. This is a more noble comparison than the cock (with the Sept., Vulg., Aquilla, Theodo-tion, the Targums, the Syr. and Arab. versions, Joseph Kimchi, and others), the greyhound (with the Veneto-Greek, the other Kimchis, Gershon, Luther, and others), or other more fanciful conjectures, e.g. the Eagle, the Zebra, etc., which may be seen in Fuller (Miscell. Sacr. v, 12), Simonis (Exercitatio Critica De זרְזִיר , Hal. 1735), and others.
