Cheque upon feveral Antiquaries, who have been 
taught to confider the Cohorts as appropriated to the 
Foot Service, as the Ala and Turma were to the Horfe. 
Mr. Horjley in particular, 94- imagines, the Co - 
hors prima Claudia Equitata , which he met with in 
the Notitia, was intended to intimate, that this Co- 
hort had been promoted from the Foot to the Horfe 
Service. But when that Gentleman was led, by the 
Mark or Monagram in the "Durham Infcription re- 
ferr'd to in tnele Papers, to confider that Corps as 
confiding of a thoufand Horfe, his Difficulty is in- 
creafed to that Degree, that he does not know what 
to affirm upon it. Now of all this there is a very 
eafy Solution. 
The Auxiliary or Provincial Cohorts (for of them 
only I obferve what follows) were either intirely or 
purely Foot, like the Legionary and ordinary Co- 
horts ; or elfe they had a Mixture of both Kinds of 
Militia, and confided of Horfe and Foot together.

This latter Sort, as they could not properly be

(for they were made up of both) feem to have ap-
