⁴ The Hellenistic use of *cleros* is to be distinguished from the classical use (Lenschau, κλῆροι in PW), in which *cleros* refers to the division of the city land of a new city among the citizens and has nothing to do with military service. This *may* have still obtained in those new Hellenistic cities which were founded directly as *poleis*, if the Emperor Julian’s reference to 10,000 κλῆροι at Antioch on the Orontes, cited by Cumont, *JRS* XXIV, 1934, p. 188, be not a piece of archaising.
