Zeugitae were members of the third census division created by Solon s constitutional reforms in ancient Athens. The Zeugitae were those whose property or estate could produce 200 bushels of wet or dry goods or their equivalent , per year. The term appears to have come from the Greek word for yoke , which has led modern scholars to conclude that zeugitae were either men who could afford a yoke of oxen or men who were yoked together in the phalanx that is, men who could afford their own hoplite armor. ref Whitehead, The Ancient Athenian , 282 3 ref The Zeugitae could serve as Hoplites in the Athenian Army. The idea was that you could serve as a Hoplite if you had enough money to equip yourself in that manner, i.e. you could produce 200 bushels or more per year.

The Ekdromos plural Ekdromoi was an ancient Greek light hoplite . The name means out runners , and denotes their ability to exit the phalanx formation phalanx and fight in an irregular order, as the situation might demand. The Ekdromoi were mostly lightly armoured with aspis and bronze helmet , fast infantry and were armed with spear and short sword. The term will actually describe any hoplite who practices the tactic of Ekdromi , that is the irregular exit from the battleline. When within the phalanx, they functioned as ordinary hoplites but upon order, they would exit their ranks and attack the enemy in loose irregular order. Tactical necessities that would ordain such a use would include constant harassment from enemy skirmishers, clearing the path from enemy presence for the army to pass in safety, the fast capture of key points within or around the battlefield, the pursue of a broken enemy etc. Their lightness did not guarantee contact with a skirmishing enemy, but they effectively would push the enemy and clear the way. Psiloi and peltasts would never allow themselves to fight in melee with the Ekdromoi, since the latter were, even without the armor, much better equipped for close combat, but poorly armed barbarian infantry often made that mistake. Xenophon made use of Ekdromoi during the march of the Ten Thousand Greek Ten Thousand against the numerous barbarian warriors disrupting the Greek columns, as is multiple times attested in his work, Anabasis Xenophon The Anabasis .

Thus panoply refers to the full armour of a hoplite or heavy armed soldier, i.e. the shield , breastplate , helmet and greave s, together with the sword and lance . As applied to armour of a later date, panoply did not come into use till the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century, and was then used of the complete suits of plate armour covering the whole body.
