"Kardakes hoplitai"=Kardaka in its hellenized form. I think this is how Arrianos calls them.

Of course Polybios calls them Peltasts, but I prefer Arrian's take on the subject, based on other things he had right when others were wrong.
"Azat" would be called "Armenioi Eugeneis" in Greek, meaning "Armenian noblemen".
"Nakharar" well the only two mentions of noblemen closely related to the King would be "Hetairoi" or "Philoi tou Basileos" meaning "Kings' friends" who were most of the times considered a Military unit.
