EDIT: It depends on which Mattiarii and Lanciarii it was.
Assuming we're referring to only Palatina units, it was a Numerus (Mattiarii Honoriani Gallicani) and a Legio Palatina Unit called the Lanciarii Seniores.
EDIT 2:
As for the size of the unit:
"In the Byzantine army, the lochos continued being used as a term for the file. It was the basic infantry unit of usually 8 men, composed of the file leader (lochagos) and seven soldiers. In the tradition of the Roman contubernium, this unit slept and ate together in a single tent, and had a permanently attached servant. Alternative names were dekarchion and dekarchos for the file leader, meaning "leader of ten"." - Wikipedia on the Lochos
Got nothing on the Telos.
