From what I know Pahlavans never used any infantry, they relyed entirely on cavalry. Their priority was mobility of army (just like other nomads). Therefore I'm not sure about their unit roster which contains Nizag Gund or even Pandodaphoi Phalangtidai (it required some time and experienced officers to train a phalangtide - and I doubt Pahlavans had them). Can anyone give me some historical evidence on pahlavan infantry? And I'm also curious about the description of Nizag Gund, which says "Parthian spearmen".
If Parthians (Pahlavans) start somewhere north of Parthia why are their spearmen avaible as far as Babylonia? Wouldn't be description "Persian spearmen" better?
