according to english in his book 'the army of alexander the great', there are 6taxis,
each was divided into 3 lochoi commanded by a lochagos. each lochos had 32 files (which i don't know how to call in greek) commanded by a dekadarch.
where does one fit the syntagma? according to wikipedia (i know this is a terrible source but better this than no source) the file itself was called a lochos.
are there for every lochos 32 dekadarchs or are there 31 dekadarchs and 1 lochagos? i mean, was it a separate command or do you have to fit the lochagos in the phalanx itself?
tnx!
