Ancient Greek sources only ever mention Phineus, never Phineas. The first name has two syllables in Greek (Phi-neus); the second has three (Phi-ne-as), and is furthermore a completely different name, being a late borrowing of the Coptic name Pinehas which in Coptic means "the southerner." Why are the two names treated as equivalents in this and other articles? They're not the same name! -- Darrell M., 69.248.116.112 00:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
