Forestier's description of the cataphract seems to owe something to Heliodorus, Aethiopika, 9.15 - the cuirass of square plates of bronze and iron overlapping like scales, the gap in the armour covering the thigh required for mounting the horse, and the rider having to be lifted into the saddle by others because of the weight of his armour.

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
