Headword:
*)epistrofh/
Adler number: epsilon,2644
Translated headword: turn-manoeuvre; quarter-turn
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. This is the name for what happens] when, after concentrating the whole battalion toward the side-man and the back-man, we turn, just like the body of a single man, toward spear-side or shield-side, with the whole contingent wheeling around the company-commander[1] as a center-point, and we change the forward position and the flank on the right side,[2] but each man keeps the same side-men and back-men.[3]
