Well "scimitar" type sabres came into play with the increase numbers of Cuman and Turkic mercenaries after the late 11th century but I doubt if they were "parameria".
Please take into account that your average monk chronicler might not be accurate in his use of weapon names or other military terms.

Personaly I belive that the plcion was the parmaerion.
Sort enought to be "by the thigh".
Kind regards
