	Paionia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the time of king Philip II of Macedon, Paionia covered most of what is now the Republic of Macedonia, and was located immediately north of ancient Macedon (roughly corresponding to the modern Greek region of Macedonia) and south of Dardania (roughly corresponding to modern-day Kosovo).
		Before the reign of Darius Hystaspes, they had made their way as far east as Perinthus in Thrace on the Propontis.
		They worshipped the sun in the form of a small round disk fixed on the top of a pole.

	I/63 Paionian (512-284 BC)
		The Paionians (Paeonians) were a loose collection of tribes who settled in the central Balkans in the valleys of the rivers Struma, Vardar and Bistricia around 4000-3500 BC (an area corresponding roughly with modern Macedonia and Serbia).
		From figures depicted on coinage, Paionian cavalry wore a squarenecked tunic with elbow-length sleeves, an Attic-style helmet with crest, a long spear held under arm, and a sword on a baldric.
		To field all options in a Paionian army, you will need 4 light cavalry (including a figure suitable as a general), 27 peltasts/hypapists or irregular infantry (including a figure suitable as a general), and 20 lightly armed skirmishers (javelin, bow or sling).

	Herodotus: Book 5: Terpsichore: 10
		So then when Dareios asked of what country she was, the young men said that they were Paionians and that she was their sister; and he replied: "Who then are these Paionians, and where upon the earth do they dwell?" and he asked them also what they desired, that they had come to Sardis.
		The Paionians when they heard that their cities were in the hands of the enemy, at once dispersed, each tribe to its own place of abode, and proceeded to deliver themselves up to the Persians.
		So then those of the Paionians who had been conquered were being brought to Asia: and Megabazos meanwhile, after he had conquered the Paionians, sent as envoys to Macedonia seven Persians, who after himself were the men of most repute in the army.

		Having come to the coast the Paionians crossed over thence to Chios, and when they were already in Chios there arrived in their track a large body of Persian horsemen pursuing the Paionians.

		Bora(s) [Kaimaktsalan] formed the northern frontier – the Paionians along the west bank of the Axios were added to this part.

	Macedonian Unit Organisation
		Milns suggested amending it to "Thrakes de kai prodromoi kai Paiones ennakosioi": that is, "Thracians and scouts and Paionians, 900", on the basis of Brunt's observation that 1800 Macedonian cavalry representing the Companions and Prodromoi together is too few, and this interpretation has found great favour.
		Perhaps the clinching factor is that Arrian also, at one single point, calls the Paionian horse 'prodromoi' (3.8.1); and if the Paionians can be so described, then so can the neighbouring Thracians they are paired with.
		With 256-man squadrons, taking the Paionians as a single squadron (certainly they would be considerably outnumbered by the Thracians), there then would be 5 squadrons in the advance force, or 1250-odd men.

		It could be argued that Diodoros puts mercenary Thracian infantry in the non-mercenary category too, but it is clear that here Diodoros is referring to Greek mercenaries rather than all mercenaries.
		Secondly, it means the number of Thracian and Paionian horse would be rather small if these 900 men also include some (if not all) of the Macedonian Prodromoi.
		To my mind a far better emendation would be to read Diodoros' phrase as saying "Thracian scouts and Paionians: 900", making scout an adjective rather than a noun.
