[edit] Strange spelling

Curious details: Why "Constantinopolis" (= Constatinople?). And why "412 AC" ("AC", if anything, means "ante Christum", which makes no sense here)? -S.

Anno Christi. But it should be fixed. Septentrionalis 14:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strange phrasing

I changed "School of Philosophy" to Academy, but I didn't know what to make of this: "He became headmaster of Athens' School of Philosophy." Is there a less anachronistic way of expressing this? --Wetman 09:55, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Don't think so. --maru (talk) Contribs 03:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Septentrionalis 14:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Travel to Athens

What is the source of the 431 date for his journey from Alexandria to Athens? Nearly every other source (linked in the External links section) simply say he went from A to B when he was a teenager, implying 429 or 430, or give it as 429. --maru (talk) Contribs 03:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
