For the health of this thread, I think it is also acceptable for placing papyrus records.

The date of this papyrus is circa 215 AD. According to this article:

the papyrus tells us about the cohors I Apamenorum sagittariorum quingenaria equitata.
The intriguing part seems to be the organization of the cohort:
6 centurions, 4 decurions, 100 cavalrymen and 457 infantrymen.
Missing are: 126 infantrymen and at least 10 cavalrymen.
This means there are at least 583 infantrymen according to my guess, am I correct in this?
