epistates
An epistates () in ancient Greece was any sort of superintendent or overseer. In Hellenistic kingdoms generally, an epistates is always connected with a subject district (a regional assembly), where the ''epistates'', a resident representative, exercised control and collected taxes on behalf of the king.
==Military use==
In military texts, an epistates (the one who stands behind) is the man behind a protostates (the one who stands first/in front). The phalanx was made up of alternate ranks of protostates and epistates. Thus, in a file of 8 men, the protostates were the men in positions 1,3,5, and 7,〔Asclepiodotus, Tactica 2.3〕 while the epistates occupied positions 2,4,6, and 8.〔Asclepiodotus, Tactica, 2.3〕 〔Arr.Tact.6.6〕
