Notes:
The particular form of this noun occurs only here; more usually it is u(perfala/gghsis (and the C19 military historians Koechly & Ruestow suggested emending to that here). In the Tactica section appended to the Suda, it is spelled u(perfala/ggisis.
For an instance of the cognate verb, see Xenophon, Cyropaedia 6.3.20.
