Note:
Ancient "rosters",
katalogoi, served a variety of purposes, but the commonest was to list men of an age (and physical fitness) for military service. For the phrase
u(pe\r to\n kata/logon as proverbial, see also
Photius (upsilon146 Theodoridis) and several of the paroemiographers. Its earliest attested appearance -- but without proverbial overtones -- is in
Demosthenes 13.4 (web address 1).
