I would suggest that a "praetorian chort" would be a unit of 300 men.
Possibly, during the Dark Period of the Middle Ages, it actually determined
unitls made up of men (monks) possibley from religious institutions.
Certainly our history is littered with references to fighting groups of 300, and even 600, witness the famous "300 Spartans" and the also famous "300 group of
homosexual lovers" that were killed by Phillip and Alexander of Macedon,
(as only two representations.)
In the case of the later, I would also suggest the possible connection of
the word "co-heart" to describe this unit.
The word "hort" as in the Latin word "hortus", could mean people who
were basically employed in working the "earth" or possibly even involved
in the raising of animals, etc. Which is certainly something that someone
involved as a monk at a monastery could be expected to do.
Perhaps some others out there can expand on my answer or even
dismiss it?

It was composed of highly trained and loyal soldiers known as praetorians.

What was the name of somebody who ruled a roman cohort?
The Roman officer rank system was different than today's. There was not an officer rank designated as commander of a cohort. Effectively a cohort was led by the commander of its first century. The rank of the officers also varied depending on the cohort they belonged to.The Roman legion had ten cohorts. Cohorts 2 to 10 had six standard centuries and cohort 1 had five double size centuries. The first cohort had five primi ordines who commanded the five centuries of the first cohort. The senior among them was the primus pilus who commanded the first century, and therefore was like a commander of the cohort. The pilus prior was the commander of the first century of cohorts 2 to 10. The other five centuries were commanded by centurions. The pilus prior and the centurions of cohorts 6 to 10 were of lower rank than those of cohort 2 to 5.
