I found the following link where Vegetius is mentioned having discused this in the 'epitoma rei militaris'. The link does point out that he was probably using a 3rd century source. The article goes on and gives some other source as well.
I do find the first line a bit dubious though when it says "It is generally recognized...". I was tought to question statements like this.
