Dromedary Regiment
also: Дримадерский полк
A comic, nonexistent military regiment (from дромадер, "dromedary camel") that Chekhov invents as the object of Petya Sivukhin's ambitions -- a joke name in the vein of his other absurdist official titles.
Reading notes

"Дримадерский полк" is Chekhov's invented mock-military unit (from дромадер, "dromedary camel") -- a comic, nonexistent regiment name in the vein of his other absurdist official titles, underscoring the triviality of the operator's gossip.
