Information
has glosseng: Chiliarch (, meaning "commander of a thousand"), in the Greek army of the Hellenistic period, was a commander of a 1,000 men unit, roughly equivalent to a modern battalion. The office was an adaptation by Alexander the Great of the Persian Achaemenid empires hazarapatish. A chiliarch held duties both martial and civil. Alexander the Great first awarded this rank to Hephaestion Amyntoros, but after Hephaestions death it was awarded to Perdiccas. The rank continued in use in later ages: Greek writers wrote of "chiliarchs" when referring to the Roman legionary tribunes, and in the Byzantine army, the title was used as an alternative to that of the droungarios and the taxiarches. Later still, during the Greek Revolution, the title was given as a rank to significant kapetans, leaders of the irregular bands that made up most of the Greek rebels' army.

Meaning
German
has glossdeu: Chiliarch (griechisch χιλίαρχος, chiliarchos) war die griechische Bezeichnung für den Kommandeur der Leibgarde im Perserreich der Achämeniden bzw. für den Kommandeur von 1000 Mann. Er übernahm später auch wichtige Regierungsfunktionen, die in der (älteren) Forschung oft mit denen eines orientalischen Wesirs verglichen werden; inwiefern dies zutrifft, ist umstritten. So war er wohl beispielsweise für die Überwachung des Hofverkehrs zuständig, vielleicht auch für Einführung von Gesandten, obwohl auch in diesem Punkt in der Forschung keine Einigung herrscht.
