Camel cataphracts?

[Robert Vermaat]

Well, the statements "archers and cataphracts who fought on camels" and "the kataphraktoi on horses and camels" seem to indicate to me that these were kataphraktoi (armoured) camels.

In your original question you said you had never heard of a camel cataphract, and yet this passage clearly mentions camel cataphracts using long spears.

I misread the question. With a 'camel cataphract I was thinking of the animal'. There seems to be a misunderstanding that cataphracts (heavy armoured riders) also ride on armoured animals. That is by no means the case, it's a modern simplification (I blame RTW and other games) that is by no means backup up by evidence. So if someone tells me a cataphract rides on a camel I can't see that as evidence for the animal also being armoured.
