The <i> sagittaria</i> epithet I noticed some time ago while checking some diploma a time ago. Are there any indications that the navy had its own archers within its ranks (in Athens IIRC there were supposedly a couple of bowmen in addition to the complement of hoplite marines) or is this, which appears more likely, the result of conversion to archers at a later point?<br>
