The civil part of the provincial orb being declared by the
foregoing order, the military part of the same is constituted by
--
The twenty-ninth order, "Whereby the stratiots of the third
essay having drawn the gold balls marked with the letter M, and
being ten horse and fifty foot in a tribe, that is to say, 500
horse and 2,500 foot in all, the tribes shall be delivered by the
respective conductors to the provincial strategus or general, at
such a time and place, or rendezvous, as he shall appoint by
order and certificate of his election, and the strategus having
received the horse and foot mentioned, which are the third
classes of his provincial guard or army, shall forthwith lead
them away to Marpesia, where the army consists of three classes,
each class containing 3,000 men, whereof 500 are horse; and
receiving the new strategus with the third class, the old
strategus with the first class shall be dismissed by the
provincial council. The same method with the stratiots of the
letter P, is to be observed for the provincial orb of Panopea;
and the commonwealth coming to acquire new provinces, the Senate
and the people may erect new orbs in like manner, consisting of
greater or less numbers, according as is required by the
respective occasion. If a stratiot has once served his term in a
provincial orb, and happens afterward to draw the letter of a
province at the election of the second essay, he may refuse his
lot; and if he refuses it, the censor of that urn shall cause the
files balloting at the same to make a halt; and if the stratiot
produces the certificate of his strategus or general, that he has
served his time accordingly, the censor throwing the ball that he
drew into the urn again, and taking out a blank, shall dismiss
the youth, and cause the ballot to proceed.
