There is no published evidence of Classical or Hellenistic Greek glued linen armor such as an artifact that is clearly armor of some sort. This is odd as there are thousands of glued linen artifacts from the same period, and before, especially from Egypt in the form of mummy masks. These masks and mask fragments are surprisingly durable. As there were tens of thousands of Greek mercenaries and later settlers living in Ptolemaic Egypt one would hope that something would have turned up in those dry sandy places by now. New discoveries are still being made in Egypt, Turkey and mainland Greece as well so perhaps if, a big if, such a type of armor was in use something may turn up yet.
