[edit] Sarissoforoi

Sarissoforoi were not light cavalry(!!!) but they were heavy infatry! They were first used by Philip of Macedon and later by Hellenistic armies. I add as many information as I could but more informations and cities is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seleukosa (talkcontribs) 11:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

This article is entirely wrong.Sarissophoroi were a form of light cavalry. The unit this article refers to are the Pezhetairoi ro foot companions. This needs to be edited immediately.
