Well the Sarmatians were feared in Rome for their excellent Horsemanship and cavalry.... Also this example of yours isn't that incredible at all. IRL The charge in itself would be devastating; A huge portion of the Hoplites would fall, and since they were levy, they would rout pretty quickly. Perhaps you would loose a few men in the charge... But still my money is that IRL 41 Elite Sarmatian Cataphracts would defeat 160 levy spearmen
