Interpreting Polybius (was Late Roman Army)

[Lyceum]

Not unless you want to re-write the rules of Greek syntaxis? Which also mean affecting several other related languages too. Sorry but its a pretty blank piece of Greek to interpret with a clear meaning as Macedon gives it. Nor does there seem to be any suggestion that the text is compromised...so, the meaning has to stand. The relation of the passage to its historiographical tradition vs actual reality is another matter entirely.

I laughed heartily at the "zomg only the sources!" stuff being said unironically btw, so thanks for that guys...
