Headword: *)epista/ths
Adler number: epsilon,2610
Translated headword: epistates, rear-ranker
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the file man stationed behind [sc. the front-ranker]. The one after him [is] a front-ranker, and the one after him a rear-ranker again -- so that the entire row is made up of front-rankers and rear-rankers. Some call the [sc. first] front-ranker a lochagos ['file-leader'][1] and the [sc. last] rear-ranker an ouragos ['file-closer'],[2] and those in the middle differently; instead [they call] the one after the front-ranker -- i.e. the second man -- an epistates, and the third from the front-ranker a hypostates.
