Lochagos

For example, Xenophon reported that a lochagos of Sparta served under a polemarch.

The rank of lochagos could also represent an officer roughly equivalent to that a Roman army centurion.

The rank was still in use in the military of the Byzantine Empire, although more usually, the term hecatontarch was used, a calque of the Latin centurio.

[4]: 90  Certain early Byzantine units such as the infantry auxilia and the cavalry Scholae lacked centurions and decurions, but had centenarii and decenarii instead.

[4]: 90–91 In the modern Hellenic Army the rank is superior to an Ypolochagos (Lieutenant) and inferior to an Tagmatarchis (Major).
