Quote:Again my Latin lets me down as I would like it to be "knights stabilization (force)" but if equites is nominative plural it would have to be an - es ending for stables too to agree with it...but then with -iani added???I'm not sure that I understand you. Eques is masculine and, as you rightly say, equites is the nominative plural. Stablesiani is, presumably, the masculine nominative plural of the adjective stablesianus, -a, -um. So, 'stablesian horsemen', whatever that may mean!
