Talk:stratiote

from sarri.greek: [How do I write usernames for them to get a notice? ping? reply? just the name? sorry, I'm new here] I see that in 2014 you created this page. And User:Equinox added the plural. I was puzzled by the types stratiote pl.stratiotes. I checked στρατιώτης@perseus. I don't know, but probably: And about the definition: I would describe him, using your words, as: soldier. in Ancient Greece, a man who served as soldier, fulfilling his obligation of military service in time of war. στρατιώτης is a hypernym for kinds of soldiers such as ὁπλίται (ὁπλίτης hoplites, pl. hoplitae) who were the ones (in Athens) who paid for their own arms (hence, they did own a piece of land, but small. But every citizen was 'bound' to minilitary service, land or no land he became a στρατιώτης. The paupers became lisght-armed στρατιώται and the rich of course, at more important ranks.

 * stratiotes = sing.1.
 * stratiote? probably ιs a transcr. quasi: stratiotae/stratiôtai-? from  pl.1. στρατιῶται?  The only stratiote i found @perseus is στρατιώτῃ Dativus attic, epic, ionic.
 * MiddleLiddell def: 1. a citizen bound to military service; generally, a soldier. 2. later, professional soldier= μισθοφόρος [mercenary]
 * Just as a note: the English plurals aren't necessarily formed as the plurals of the original language! Look at, which has the Latin plural but also an analogical English plural . --Barytonesis (talk) 09:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Merci! C'est plus mieux! et précis. ++But there is a repetition of phrase Ancient Greece. Intended?++ Couldn't find the little box for thanks at History. Now, with your corrections no one will be puzzled :)
