Psiloi being one of the few units with only a "fast" designation I would suggest the designation of early Medieval renaissance hand gunners (and maybe crossbow skirmishers) as a "solid" version of psiloi.
Given the slow rate of fire and clumsy heaviness of the weapon (compared to a sling), an early hand cannon, hand gun, harquebus, etc. would be slower but more powerful.
So reduce their movement rate from 3 to 2 and limit them to being quick killed only by the charge of knights - hence the need for protection by pikes.
