When did the Skutatoi come around?
#2
I don't know when the word arose, but I suspect this is a deliberate Classicism, much like the use of 'peltastes' for light missile troops. There are units identified specifically as 'scutati' in Late Antiwquity, but IIRC not many, so a direct continuation seems unlikely.
