That's quite problematic. We're working on a beefed-up version of the hetairoi for EB2 as a sort of reform version -- something likely to be seen Antiochos III post-anabasis or Antiochos IV. Myself and the other Hellenistic historian have conflicting views on the matter. I imagine the hetairoi/agema heading down a more cataphract-like development with a kontos instead of the xyston, which means no shield; he prefers the shielded type. The evidence is of course murky.
Do either of you have images of the grave stelai or statuettes available? I haven't found much except for the hunting-scene cavalryman, which was also published in Sekunda's work.
