I also wondered about how the "t" crept in, to "eques". My Latin
dictionary has "eques" as "knight." But "eques" is singular. When
you want "knights" plural, the declension adds a "t."
eques, itis (m and f): 1. Horseman, rider. 2. knight; equestrian
order. [Langenscheidt Pocket Latin Dictionary]
For "equal" my dictionary has "aequum," so I think he's right
that "Respondeant ipsi equites" means "Let the knights themselves
make answer."

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
