Ah ha, found it.
For context however, it should be noted that I was reacting to this quote:

Two gate guards still doesn't seem to be quite in that league, is all that I was trying to state. I doubt that two guards total were responsible for an entire region. And even if they were, two people is far from a veritable legion of outsiders.
This makes me wonder whether or not Knights are markedly distinct from Temple Knights, which seem to be a church-run order for believers. We have evidence that Houses have knights to themselves, and if that quote about an earlier House and their use of sellswords and outsiders is any indication, it's entirely possible that these guards were hired to guard a claim staked by a house. Although the relation between private knights and Temple Knights is unclear, it is possible that they were the former, and not the latter.
But again, speculation.
I do think that we're getting a little hostile on both fronts at the moment, however.
