 Topic: What is Byzantine Greek for recruit?Posted: 02-Oct-2006 at 20:02 |

I know all the other ranks and the word stratiotes for soldier, but there is one rank I know not. What is recruit in Byzantine Greek? I am looking for the equivalent of the late Roman term tiro, a rank prior to becoming a pedes. Was there ever such a specific rank? Were there a variety of terms over the centuries, and if so, what was the most commonly used one? |

Hmm...are you talking about the general Byzantine Greek term for "recruit," or the term for an actual low-grade rank that is the equivalent to a recruit?

An actual rank if there was one, preferably singular and plural versions. A probationary position on enrolment and prior to becoming integrated in a unit.
