«فُرْسَانِ الْبَرَاعَةِ وَأَرْبَابِ الْيَرَاعَةِ»
Horsemen of excellence and masters of the pen.

This pairing makes the group seem formidable. Their verdict should carry weight precisely because they are introduced as capable writers. The later challenge is therefore directed at an authoritative, rather than ignorant, audience.
