Narseh or Nasr was a Kurd
[edit]According to this source:
I. Sevcenko, Review of New Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire, Slavic Review, p.109-118, 1968. (see page 111)
Narseh was a Kurd. He converted to Christianity and assumed the new name Theophobos.Heja Helweda 22:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Poorly written
[edit]This article has a NPOV leaning towards the Muslim particulars. Example: "That outstanding general bore the full force of the Byzantine attack." [Emphasis mine] We do not state that someone was "great" or otherwise unless scholars have deemed it part of a person's title. I urge removal. The rest of the article excludes better detailed emphasis on Emperor Theophilos' improvement of the economy and growth of commerce. Jtpaladin (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Poorly written and missing information...
[edit]"Theophilos never recovered from the blow; his health gradually failed..." What are we talking about that he received some type of "...blow...". It doesn't say. Please re-write this to make more sense. Dinkytown talk 19:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Jewish? Cannot verify
[edit]I saw that Emperor Theophilos is "Jewish" in this article. The source backing this claim is from a medical doctor and medical researcher specializing in photobiology. It seems his only "qualification" for writing on these topics is being Jewish himself.[1]
I can't find anything supporting the claim that Emperor Theophilos was Jewish.[2] [3][4] R. J. Dockery (talk) 19:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
