Primus pilus bis
#4
Do you really mean 'Birley'?  There is an article by Brian Dobson entitled 'Legionary Centurion or Equestrian Officer? A comparison of Pay and Prospects' in Ancient Society 3 (1972), 193-207.  I am not sure if there is an inter-library loan service where you are but, here in the UK, the local library can easily get a copy of the article through that service.

Alternatively, you may get some answers from the chapter on 'Primuspilus Iterum' in Brian Dobson's Ph.D. thesis 'The Primipilares of the Roman Army', available at http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/8434/.
