I wouldn't go so far that we gome to a specific or new conclusion. But imagine that both ranks would have been larger, the Peltast would not have a good chance against the Ekdromoi. They are faster of course but so is an
Ekdromoi too, in contrary to a Hoplite. The Peltast really had troubles against our shields. We closed shields, if the situation required it. Or operated more open.
In my personal opinion a very interesting branch of service.
