Ariel Lewin The Egyptian Cunei Tyche 18, 2003:
L. Varady argued that the cunei had a strength of 1.250 men. He based his theory on a passage by Zosimos who recalls that in the year 409 five tagmata from Dalmatia totaling 5.000 men were annihilated by Alaric.
Can cunei be equated with tagmata? Do we know if the 5 tagmata are infantry or cavalry?
Ariel Lewin also says: the numerus of the Mauri scutarii stationed at Lycopolis.

The papyrus P.OXY 4381 of AD 375 actually says arithmou Mauron Skutarion. I do not see the term embolon (cuneus) anywhere in the text. So why is this unit called a cunei?
