▼12:14The word agmina (agmen) can refer to a stream, or to a flock or herd, or to troops. What all these things have in common, at which the word is aiming, is that they all go forth in a procession or in an orderly column. The agmina of the Pope, then, would be his faithful flock, those who are following him, who are like his troops or his herd.(Conte)
