I have reverted your edit, as I see no evidence of this. The closest match that I can find is that the LSJ defines it as the fourth or fifth part of a μόρα (squad). If you have evidence to the contrary, I'm quite willing to see it. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 00:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Lochos is used as "file" in ancient military texts. Aelian uses it (5th ch) and Asclepiodotus too (2nd ch.). GK1973 10:21, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmmm.....LSJ is interpreting those references as a company, not a file.....though I suppose the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I'm not terribly well educated on Ancient Greek military formations.  I'll see if I can find a copy of one or both of those works later today.  If you have one you can link to, it'd be appreciated.  Also, could we keep this conversation here?  I've got you watchlisted, so I'll see any responses.  It makes it easier for others to follow, should anyone be so inclined.  Thanks.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 12:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I have the originals but here you will find the necessary refs on googlebooks. The word is also very often used thus in Byzantine manuals.

 * Yes, I did see the comment, but haven't had time to look just yet. I'll try to get to it as soon as possible.  Sorry.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 00:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I've gone ahead and reinstated your edit. Thanks for your patience.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 21:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
