Regardless, the word used to describe what they are wearing is anaxurides, not knemides.
Yes... I don'want to say that Gauls used felt greaves like Dura Europos one, but just that leg protections in deperibile material are not inacceptables.
I don't doubt that it is possible, but more what I was getting at is that evidence for such leg armour does not come to us from the Celtic cultural milieu.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
