changed the date of Pamphilus martyrdom from February 409 to February 309. The writer had the wrong century. Stevenmitchell 12:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." is included in the German WP: de:Antike Bibliotheken. "It has been supposed, that at this time in Constantinople, papyrus scrolls were copied into parchment codices, as it had been done with the theological scrolls of the library of Caesarea Maritima (in Judea). This converting of texts in the library of Caesarea Maritima (in Judea) has been attested". If anyone knows the evidence for this it might be included in the two articles.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This line that has no citation: "Eusebius' Martyrs of Palestine attests that Pamphilus was of a rich and honorable family of Beirut, but the assertion that he gave all his property to the poor and attached himself to the "perfect men" does not square with his magnificent patronage of the library at Caesarea Maritima and his constant generosity to scholars through his lifetime," does not "square" with modern scholarship on Christians' views of wealth in the Roman World. As noted historian Peter Brown points out in "Through the Eye of a Needle", wealth was difficult to give away in the Roman world. A Christian who did renounce his wealth faced a logistically difficult task. Pamphilus' wealth was not in a bank account, but in his families property and holdings. Paulinus of Nola is another important example who renounced wealth but patronized many churches, shrines, and monasteries. It took years, decades even, to responsibly donate lands, properties, and monies. The fact that Pamphilus was a great patron after he renounced his wealth easily does "square away" with what we now know about the behavior of wealthy Christians in the ancient world. I have deleted the second part of this line, as it sounds rooted in the opinion of one editor who does not give a citation. Uriah is Boss (talk) 08:13, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
