The last plate of Osprey in the "Greek Hoplite" shows some form of padding under the muscled cuirass. It uses grave stelae as ecidence.
I went to Keramikos ancient cemetery last Saturday and they seem to have some validity in their claim but the stelae were wery withered from time.
I do not deny the posibility of armor padding to be cloth but leather could not be excluded in my opinion.
I agree also with you post on Dunkan's reference.
Kind regards
