The Makedonian phalanx -- why such depth?
Forgot the one thing…

Quote:I would suggest 'eis machen' refers to the process of forming phalanx from column…

This seems always to be en taxei or a grammatical variant. Generally it used to indicate the hoplites in line as opposed to column.

Giannis might confirm?

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!
