Cohort commander?

I thought I should look into PHI and found these little diamonds :

SEG 17, 506; AnnEpig 1968, 488; *IEph 737.

[— — — — — — — — — — — —]

It is interesting that in Greek epigraphy the term coortis appears very very few times - in this database I only found these two instances (both 3rd c.), yet both connect it with the rank of chiliarchos and according to the one found in Ephesos, the "douka coortis" is very specific in identifying a man of this rank as leading a single cohort.

P.S. At Nathan's request, I have added a quick translation to the texts, there may be some mistakes since I am not that familiar to the Roman terms used in Greek at this period, but I hope you can now more easily judge the content.
