Daryush,
I do not know if it is allowed to advertise oneself, but I am working on a series of four articles, Studies on Mounted Warfare in Asia, that is going to be published in Warfare in History. I expect, but it has as yet not been confirmed, that the first is going to be published this year. It concerns warfare in the Middle East from the late-Sasanian to the early Mongol period. The last in the series will be about the nomad warfare from Central Asia and Southern Russia. I hope you will find them interesting.
Regards,
Eduard
PS To stay on topic, here are some late Roman and Armenian sources: Strategikon 1.2.56-8 on scouts wearing surcoats over their armour,Sebêos 82 on Persian soldiers sent out to ambush the Romans, armoured from head to toe, and Procopius 8.8.17 on scouts in armour. Middle 6th century-600 CE, so all these soldiers are mounted archers, carrying armour, bow, lance and sword.
