- In Macedonia, the Hypaspistai were mainly called 'peltasts', their Antigonid term. I read once account of the peltasts of Philip V and some Illyrians were lying in ambush, sprung their suprise attack, and routed a force of pursuing Aetolians completely. I forget what the numbers on both sides were
So maybe the Hypaspitai and the Peltastai Makedonikoi are the same unit in the Makedonian kingdom?
