list 2602 early Achaemenid satrapal army and 2601 related

[philfigo]

I am talking MAXIMUS sorry

So the maximum sparabara front and rear ranks  ( persian ) is 48  so max 24 immortals but you need your 24 "other" infantry as well

The max immortals in the satrapal army is 16 without the mandatory sparabara :-)

yes for maximus
yes for royal army
but in the satrapal army it is written in the note of the immortals
"Note: ... The number of Immortals cannot exceed the number of sparabara."

[badhabum]

Even the fact that the immortals were present with Mardionus seems to be an unsure fact but finding reliable sources is a bit difficult
