I list some words in plural (most usual when giving troop numbers)
chiliades means "thousands"
myriades means "myriads (10,000)"
(h)ekatontades means "hundreds"
the suffix -archos or -arches means "leader of" from the verb archo which means lead.
thus :
a chiliarchos or chiliarches is a leader of 1,000 (literally)
a (h)ekatntarchos or (h)ekatontarches is a leader of 100
chiliades means "thousands"
myriades means "myriads (10,000)"
(h)ekatontades means "hundreds"
the suffix -archos or -arches means "leader of" from the verb archo which means lead.
