I think there is no ancient writer who says they charged only the last 200 meters though. Is there,Stefane? But it is a valid possibility as the range of bows was somewhat like that,or at least this is a good distance to start running in order to avoid arrows. Herodotus uses the word "dromaioi"(which means running) for the whole distance and this is highly unlikely!
