are we sure that this is named after Theophilus of Alexandria and not after Theophilus of Antioch? Rmhermen 22:46, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. The crater was named by Riccioli, a Jesuit. Theophilus of Alexandria was a notable figure in the christian religion, whereas Theophilus of Antioch was a pagan. Also the year of death is correct for Theophilus of Alexandria. — RJH 22:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
