Quote:@geala:Quote: So I would name a Kataphractos a "catapfract", which is much more similar to the "catafract" than the ugly "catapract".
"Catapract" might be ugly,but it's the right pronunciation!
Could you give me a hint when this rule was set and by whom? It must be relatively new research, I would be interested in a source. I hope it is not connected with the discussion 'Greek scholars about ancient Greek and roughly the rest of the world', which I don't want to start.
Edit: sry, the quote worked not as intended
