It was standard within the Hellenistic (and also Roman) world that troops received pay and provisions (rations). The latter was paid out in cash rather than the provisions themselves.<br>

IIRC, cavalry usually received 4 times the provisions of the infantry. In addition to this, the basic cavalry used received 2 to 3 times the pay of a basic infantry.<br>
