the origianl greek texts talks about "cheirida, plural: cheiridae".
It literally translates as arm protection.
It could have been manica style (after all he had seen it in the Asiatic horsemen) but considering his last estate was very close to Olympia what stops us to think that he meant the archai armor arm protection which was exivited there at his time.
He suggests the thing which meant it was not used or was extremely rare.
Kind regards
