We have to add that arab unit of Saracens who fought for Iulianus, whose noblesmen submitted themselves and recognizing him as only Imperator too (XXIII 3,8 and 5,1 plus XXIV 1,10), then they passed to the Persians for money matter. Maybe about 500 horsemen...
And don't forget those units of young Laeti, possibly the same Iulianus as Caesar offered to Costantius for the persian campaign...
The Zianni were called "legion" by Ammianus, like the Primani, or the Regii.
BTW, the Regii (or Reges) legion that was at Argentoratus, was formed by Iudaeii Emeseni. This is just a speculation, to be explorated deeply, but do you think that Iulianus should have not brought those semitic men in the East with him? It's more likely that he left just part of the german troops to defend the western limes, seen that the Gauls followed him in Persia...

casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
