Try searching Perseus for meto^pon (the first O is an omega).

BTW, the entry says, in particular

Quote: front or front-line of an army, fleet, etc., A.Pers. 720, etc.; eis m. stÃªnai to stand in line, X.Cyr.2.4.2; epi metÃ´pou diienai, opp. epi kerÃ´s or keras (in column), ib.2.4.3; en metÃ´pÃ´i kathistanai, parataxasthai, ib.2.4.4, HG2.1.23.

It seems that the term may specifically refer to a line, not a larger unit of the army, especially when it means "to stand in line" as opposite to "to stand in column."

The Liddell-Scott lexicon is here.
