Roman pikeman and spearman

[Epictetus]

Thanks for your help, everyone.

I had tried to find other translations, like this one by Fowler and Fowler, but as you can see it didn't help.

On a certain occasion I was passing through Abonutichus, with a spearman and a pikeman whom my friend the governor of Cappadocia had lent me as an escort on my way to the sea.
