In the Classical Greek list there are a number of entries that use the words "upgrade" and "downgrade". What exactly does this mean? Upgrade and downgrade from what? Is it from the "Hoplites" line that is just under Cavalry?
Thanks in advance

I don't think so. I think it means you must have at least 24 stands of hoplites but no more than 160 stands of hoplites and any of those stands up to a maximum of 36 can be upgraded to Spartans. Stands you don't upgrade will be 9 points and stands you do upgrade will be 13 points. If you want 48 stands of hoplites only 36 could be Spartans.

While upgrades or downgrades have their own minima and maxima the total number of stands of the up or downgraded troops may not exceed the maxima of the initial troop type.
Consider
Blokes with pointy sticks 30-60
upgrade blokes with pointy sticks to blokes with pointy sticks and shields 20-40
downgrade blokes with pointy sticks to chained prisoners with nothing 0-40
You could have:
40 blokes with pointy sticks and 20 with pointy sticks and shields (meets the minima for shielded and does not exceed the blokes maxima)
0 blokes with pointy sticks, 20 with pointy sticks and shields and 10 chained prisoners (meets the shielded minima and the blokes minima but all blokes up or downgraded)
But not:
30 blokes with pointy sticks, 20 with pointy sticks and shields and 20 chained prisoners (there are 70 all told and the maxima for blokes is 60)
