If he was born of Christian parents, then why is there discussion (two sentences later) about his conversion to Christianity?Eugen Ivan 05:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
What is the most common form - Sabbas, Sava/Saba,* or Savva?
- Gothic has no v; intermedial b is pronounced as v; the references are in Greek and Greek beta was often pronounced as v by the time. So Saba and Sava are more-or-less interchangable. Jacob Haller 02:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not at war as of 372
There was a peace treaty on 369. Jacob Haller 23:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Is there a problem with the year? The list of Roman Consuls#4th century BC has a vacatio there. /Pieter Kuiper —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 09:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Check list of Roman Consuls#Fourth century. There's no problem with the year - Heather and Matthews confirm that the listed consuls, the date, and the day of the week are consistent for 372. The problem is the statement that Athanaric was at war with Valens at the time. Jacob Haller 17:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
In cocnlusion, I find this subject very interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.25.15.98 (talk) 02:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
