Sarissoforoi were not light cavalry(!!!) but they were heavy infatry! They were first used by Philip of Macedon and later by Hellenistic armies. I add as many information as I could but more informations and cities is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seleukosa (talk • contribs) 11:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is entirely wrong.Sarissophoroi were a form of light cavalry. The unit this article refers to are the Pezhetairoi ro foot companions. This needs to be edited immediately.

There are articles about sarissophoros (i.e. the singular of sarissophoroi) in other languages. I think they shall be linked with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarissophoroi Xakepxakep (talk) 19:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
