Subscriber access to Thesaurus Linguae Graecae?
#1
I wonder, in these days of closed libraries, if anyone has online subscriber access to the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae via their institution?
I am looking for the entry on the word κοντός, which can probably be downloaded, if your institution subscribes.
Any assistance gratefully received.

Sorry, I don’t have access to the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae , but here is the open access to the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae.

I found some interesting references for the term manipulus.

CLAVD. DON. Aen. 11,463 ducentorum militum (SCHOL. Ter. p. 76,19 ISID. orig. 9, 3, 60). SCHOL. Ter. p. 109, 6 triginta militibus. GLOSS. L I Ansil. MA 667 -us habet sex vel duodecim viros.

The last reference is interesting, six or twelve men. If one adds the two integers together the result is 18. This is half of the 36 cavalrymen in the latest article by Steven James The Army and Fleet of Publius Scipio's African campaign of 204 BC:

“A 36 man cavalry squadron was further organised into four centuries each of nine cavalrymen.”
