Yes,it seems from a bit earlier than 600 bc the linothorax was used.In the treasure of the Siphnians the armour must have been new...though if Homer mentions it in the 8th century,the Myceneans used it and it appears less than 200 years later in sculptures,then it's likely in never stoped being used.
