The Makedonian phalanx -- why such depth?
It is time to depart. I'm certain others find this boring and I have no desire to be seen as "nitpicking selective words and phrases". You and I will not agree on the meaning of this term though it is yourself that has dogmatically stated that meaning - as used by Xenophon - in backing your argument more than the once.

I would leave with the observation that I disagree with both the below assertions.

Quote:These arguments are mere sophistry at best.....Perhaps the Greek does not allow this distinction, which is yours and artificial.

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
