Yeah, yeah. My background isn't complete yet. When it is, I will be
more than happy to put together an e-mail and pass it around via
e-mail.

Trapezitoi would be what we call the scout batallions. Skutatoi would
make a nice term for heavy mechanized infantry. Peltastoi would, IMHO,
be a bit anachronistic, regardless of What'shername (Alexai's niece)'s
opinion. Psiloi--God knows.
