I also see the problem.But we do know there were "back of the neck" guards in the tube and yoke corselets(we should really find another name till we are sure of the matterial) and in even other metal cuirasses(Philip's and later Hellenistics).And I don't know how wise it is to change-even slightly-the meaning of a word to fit with our evidence.I mean,he must have had a reason to use the word "auchen"
