Testudo and Synaspismos
#5
Arrian actually defines synaspismos, although not by distance, as a density so packed that it is impossible to turn to any side. Then he talks about the testudo and how it is formed in that way. The description is the standard one for the 1 cubit synaspismos. It would be better if someone brought up the whole text to see and judge.
