What I find intriguing: it seems Sozomenos says that Valentinian was a suntagmatarches of the Jovian katalogos/oi.

Procopius (BG II.23.2 and 1.7.34) states a 500 men infantry katalogos in 539 AD

Agathias (II.20.8) states a 500 men katalogos (?) in 554 AD

The fragment of Urbicius states that a suntagma = 250 soldiers
