Quote:Is it clear in the Greek text that a ἱππαρχία and Ala contain exactly the same number of troopers ...
Yes, that is the point that Arrian is making.

αἱ δὲ δύο ταραντιναρχίαι ἱππαρχία, δώδεκα καὶ πεντακοσίων ἱππέων, ἥντινα Ῥωμαῖοι εἴλην καλοῦσιν.
"The two Tarentinarchiai make a hipparchia, being 512 horsemen, which the Romans call an ala."
