"Captains of hundreds", "Captains of thousands", etc., are old terms, going back at least to King David's day, and probably beyond that. While their armies were managed very differently from ours in specific, the general subdivisions remain. Couldn't "chiliarch" in the usage in this Bible verse be sort of generic rather than the name over the door of his office?
