I believe that Cyreanicans would very probably be pikemen.
Greek colonist generally neglected their military duties and skills and relied a lot on mercenaries. Most mercenaries were peltasts ("Iphikratians" are a propability then).
It is a possibility that hired pikemen would convert to spearmen like the hellenistic hypaspists if there were not enough to form a decent pike block.
Kind regards
