Aeschylos used the term in the meaning of crowd and so is Herodotus in IX, 57, but in IX, 70 he means a group-a warband.
If the "barbarians were using a "regular" formation he could use the terms taxis or phalanx.
Spearmen in a group though even an "irregular" group can form strong defence and even resist cavalry.
Allo means other olon is whole.
Kind regards
