[edit] Re: Mithraism

Not at all, thanks for asking. Not being an expert in either Mithraism or Christianity, I tried not to stray from the material that already existed in the article. I was just attempting to clarify some issues I thought were awkward reading in the "Similarities to Christianity" section of the article. --Aelffin 15:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Anno Domini#Popularization

You added the statement "Most Syriac manuscripts written at the end of the 19th century still gave the date in the end-note using the "year of the Greeks" (Anno Graecorum = Seleucid era)."

Can you provide a source for this statement? --Gerry Ashton 02:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could give a reference to the article by Addai Scher in Journal Asiatique? --Gerry Ashton 00:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could rephrase the statement in the article in a away that Scher would support it, and then cite Scher. Something like "Examples of late 19th century can be found that still gave the date in the end-note using the "year of the Greeks" (Anno Graecorum = Seleucid era)." --Gerry Ashton 19:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
