What the description of Sphacteria has to tell us
#6
Τοξεύματα means arrows,because "τόξον" is the bow. And because just next to this he speaks about the small javelins "δοράτια". And just before this he defines that a psiloi threw rocks,and toxeumata nd javelins and whatever each one had.
They couldn't see mainly because of the dust and ashes from the burned forest,that were additionally mixed with the missiles,as he mentions just previously.
I didn't follow you on why he must be speaking of helmets,thought.
