1700072470 4.Xenophon, Hellenica 1.6.24. The Athenians decided to move out with 110 ships，“putting aboard every one of military age, whether they were slave or free. Even many of the knights went on board.”*

1700072472 5.According to a report contained in Polyaenus 3.3，Tolmidas, when he was once supposed to move out with 1，000 hoplites, was joined by 3，000 volunteers. Two passages in Aristophanes seem to contradict this. In The Knights, verse 1369，Demos expresses the wish that men will no longer be excused from hoplite service by favoritism, and in Peace, verse 1179，an individual is very unhappy because he finds that he is suddenly once again called up for service, and he complains that in general the country people are oppressed in this regard, while the city dwellers are given the preference. It is clear, therefore, that at that time（424 and 421 B.C.）the army levy had not yet become a purely voluntary, reimbursed service.

1700072474 6.In Aristotle, On the State of the Athenians, Chapter 24，where he explains that the mass of Athenians lived from the state（by virtue of the taxes of the allies），it is also said that the city maintained 2，500 hoplites. It is not easy to say how we should interpret this. There can be no thought of a standing army. The peripoloi, who had a strength of about 2，000，can hardly be meant here. Perhaps there existed an arrangement whereby 2，500 men were to keep themselves in a special degree of readiness at any given moment, were occasionally assembled, had to drill, and received a small reimbursement. It can hardly have been otherwise, at any rate, with the 1，200 cavalrymen and 1，600 archers whom Aristotle mentions in the same line. Beloch, in Klio 5：357，expressed the conjecture that it must simply have been 12，500 instead of 2，500，and, in the end, that seems to me to be the most logical solution.

1700072494 1.Xenophon, Hellenica 4.2.13：The allied forces moving out against Sparta in the year 395 B.C.take counsel “into how many（ranks）one ought to order the army so that you do not have to move the hoplites too much while the cities（allies）are surrounding the enemy.”* From this it seems as if the individual contingents had the tendency to form up as deep as possible, in order to concentrate as much power as possible, without realizing that this could cause the entire battle line to be too short, or in the hope that the others would be so kind as to line up in a shallower formation.

1700072504 1.Thucydides does not mention here the superior protective armor of the Greeks, and perhaps the Illyrians were better equipped in this regard than the Macedonians, who were more accustomed to the agricultural life and therefore, in general, less warlike, although Arrian（1.1.12）again specifically characterizes the Illyrian and Thracian barbarians as “ill-equipped allies.”* Furthermore, in his speech Brasidas specifically calls the Illyrians the equals of the Macedonians, and we may therefore apply the description to the latter also.

1700072505

1700072506 2.“Concerning Horsemanship”*（12. 12），“in place of a spear made of cane.”* The meaning of the Greek word “kamakinon” is not certain, nor is even the manner of reading it, but judging from the whole context, it is almost impossible that anything but a long spear is meant here.

1700072507

1700072508 3.Xenophon’s remark may be considered in connection with the cavalry combat in Hellenica 3.4.13. The account shows, however, that at that time the Greek cavalry carried not the short spear, but the long one.

1700072509

1700072510 Furthermore, it is not understandable without further explanation in this account, why the Persians had such a deep formation. They were not able to throw their spears from the rearmost ranks. The explanation lies perhaps in the fact that the Persians were counting on penetrating the Greek line with their deep column and, in doing so, throwing their spears to the right and left.

1700072514 5.Adolf Bauer, para.313（2d ed.，para，433），concludes from Arrian 1.6.5 that the companions did not normally carry a shield.1 cannot find that the passage necessitates this conclusion; in fact, it hardly permits it.Cavalry shields were naturally much smaller than those of the infantry. Since in Plutarch, Alexander, Chapter 16，there is specific mention of the shield that the king carries into combat, and later, according to Polybius 6.25.7，the Macedonian cavalrymen undoubtedly had shields, it seems certain to me that such was also the case in earlier periods.
