Kinda need an EB member to comment on whether more evidence has been found or not. Under the current lack of evidence, I can understand why they were dropped. If I was gonna mod them back in, I'd do it by making them much more expensive in initial cost and upkeep than they were before*, and give them say, only 80 men. That'd make them the same size as the general's bodyguard for the Saba, Sweboz and the Koinon (on huge). I'd justify their smaller size and greater expense, while the Seleukid's TAB are larger and cheaper, by the fact that they were probably never meant to be used in an army for any great length of time, and certainly not often brought together in such numbers. The TAB were a part of the Hypaspistai, which were constantly maintained until the kingdom's decline (I believe?). Despite this, however, I could still see a large and rich western kingdom supporting such a small and expensive unit for the '**** you' factor.
Hopefully EBII will represent them in smaller unit sizes use for bodyguard or something.
