Similar questions were raised here. I also have my doubts about assigning Xanthippos a unit of Spartans, but in the absence of definite information the area is open to different interpretations.The Spartan Xanithippos did exist and he really was a Spartan general mercenary working for Carthage. His bodyguard on the other hand... :/ ?
