Might the word gentiles have been used this early for 'tribesmen' in Roman service? There are a couple of Antonine diplomas from Dacia that I think mention Mauris gentilibus among the cohorts and alae - I'm not sure if this actually refers to 'Moorish tribesmen' though!

Does Ps-Hyginus not mention some sort of troops called nationes as well?
