Thanks for that. I see what you are talking about. There are even whips / flails with lead weights (though their name escapes me) illustrated in the Skylitzes.
I agree about the white colour, but I can't think of a reference at the moment. There seems to be some iconic evidence that white was used for the Scholae at court ...I think...so much more research to do. I' ll see what I can find.
