The Epirote's ones are recruited via the Faction-MIC.
I forgot: the Ptolemaii can recruit Elephants, in Egypt I'd guess.
Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

no, i meant so anybody can recruit them with regional barracks in correct provinces.

Ehm, I understood you... but I just wanted to point out the Epirote's 'situation'.
BTW, take a look at the "unit recruitment data file" (or what ever it is called). It should be in the AAR / Guides subforum, in the upper half of the first page.

No, elephants are not regionals for everybody. Ptolemai, Seleucia, Baktria, Carthage, Sabyn, and Epirus can get them. Rome can get simple African elephants and Makedonia (& I wouldn't be surprised if KH too) can get simple Indian elephants.
The places you can recruit them vary somewhat from faction to faction. Indian one in the three Indus provinces, plus some others like the Baktria province. African Forest Elephants west of (and not including) the city of Carthage. Bush Elephants in Meroe, Axum, and Pt. Theron.
