Abstract: For $p$ prime and for a field $F$ containing a root of unity of order $p$, we generalize Marshall's equivalence relation on orderings to arbitrary subgroups of $F^{\times }$ of index $p$. The equivalence classes then correspond to free pro-$p$ factors of the maximal pro-$p$ Galois group of $F$. We generalize to this setting results of Jacob on the maximal pro-$2$ Galois group of a Pythagorean field.
