Late Roman Unit Sizes

[Nathan Ross]

would an Emperor have a edict raised about the pay of a limitanae unit or... a Palatine one?

Good point, yes. However, surely such an edict would have been inscribed in Constantinople, or the usual base of the palatini concerned, rather than in provincial Perge? There may well have been palatine troops operating in the area at the time, but unless they were intended to remain there for many years it seems a strange thing to do. Both options are possible, of course, but I still think a frontier unit is more likely than a palatine one. No reason to suspect that the emperor would be any less concerned about corruption and manning in a border legion! The notitia lists all the various positions and commanders of units and subunits of the limitanei quite scrupulously.
