The position, known as "<a href="/wiki/Sima_(office)" title="Sima (office)">Sima</a>" in Chinese (司马), literally means "Master of the Horse". It was first created in the <a href="/wiki/Western_Zhou" title="Western Zhou">Western Zhou</a> dynasty, with responsibility for military administration and conscription. The position was below the <a href="/wiki/Three_Ducal_Ministers" title="Three Ducal Ministers">Three Grand Offices</a> and equivalent in status to the six ministers. It was often grouped with four other positions also named with the "Si-" (control, administer) prefix as the "five officials" (五官). The title was used in different ways in subsequent dynasties. The Han Dynasty awarded "Grand Sima" as an additional title to high generals, in which context it is often translated into English as "Marshal". </p><p>"Sima" also became <a href="/wiki/Sima_(Chinese_surname)" title="Sima (Chinese surname)">a Chinese surname</a>, adopted by descendants of one occupant of the office. The Sima family became emperors in the <a href="/wiki/Sima_Jin" class="mw-redirect" title="Sima Jin">Jin dynasty</a>, as a result of which "Sima" ceased to exist as an official position in the central bureaucracy. However, in later dynasties it was used as the name of various relatively minor positions in the military and local administration, and was also used informally to refer to the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_War_(imperial_China)" title="Ministry of War (imperial China)">Minister of War</a>. </p><p>The Siamese <a href="/wiki/Ayutthaya_Kingdom" title="Ayutthaya Kingdom">kingdom of Ayutthaya</a> had a Master of the Royal Elephants. The holder of this office was titled <i>Krom Phra Gajapala</i> (<a href="/wiki/Thai_language" title="Thai language">Thai</a>: <span lang="th">กรมพระคชบาล</span>). Beneath him in rank was a Master of the Royal Horse who was titled <i>Krom Phra Asvaraja</i> (<a href="/wiki/Thai_language" title="Thai language">Thai</a>: <span lang="th">กรมพระอัศวราช</span>). This demonstrated that the ancient Siamese attached more importance to the maintenance of war Elephant than a cavalry force.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span
