Abstract
Polybius (V 63-65) describes the reorganization of the Ptolemaic army by genos , by age, and the breaking up of the old regiments before the battle of Raphia (217 BC). By comparing his words with the papyrological sources, it appears that the translation of genos as “nationality” is problematic here and that the eponymous officers, who were military commanders, were replaced by new ones at that time.
