Where can I read more about this? De Blois' thesis?

Nicasie mentions that the evidence is scanty and mainly based on the 12th-c. Byzantine chronicler Cedrenus (Georgius Cedrenus, Historiarum compendium VII 406). Apparently this reserve was created c. 258 and based in Milan under a new high commander, the praefectus equitum. I found this in Hoffmann.
