Contemporary accounts of hoplite warfare

I was idly wondering, and I thought here would be a good place to ask, if there are any literary sources from 600-350 BCE with descriptions of hoplite warfare.

Thucidides, Herodotus and Xenophon. All of them included descriptions of hoplite warfare in their stories. Also Tyrtaeus poetry has descriptions of hoplite warfare.

Start at the beginning with some of the poems by Tyrtaeus. There might also be something by Archilochos about running away from battle.
I'm sure Thucydides might have something as well.
