WHAT DOES PHYLARCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phylarch

A phylarch is a Greek title meaning "ruler of a tribe", from phyle, "tribe" + archein "to rule".

In the later Roman Empire of the 4th to 7th centuries, the title was given to the leading princes of the Empire's Arab allies in the East, both those settled within the Empire and outside. From ca. 530 to ca. 585, the individual phylarchs were subordinated to a supreme phylarch from the Ghassanid dynasty.
