The Cuneus means "Boar's Head" and seems to have been (usually) a mass of soldiers in a roughly trapezoildal shape jutting out from the main line, to act as a "punch" and break the enemy center.
The quadrata could have been similar; 4 lines, the back one being the longest, the third second longest, the second the second shortest, and the first line the shortest, which would have created a similar shaped "trapezoid."
