Talk:Antiochus of Palestine

Serious issues with this article
It appears there was no such person as "Antiochus Strategos". From page 197 of Andrew S. Jacobs, Remains of the Jews, Stanford University Press, 2004:


 * On the identity of Strategios (who is often confused with another monk of Mar Saba, Antiochos, whose fragments of a similar but distinct account survive in PG 86:3222.-23), see G. W. Bowersock, "Polytheism and Monotheism in Arabia and the Three Palestines," Dumbarton Oaks Papers 51 (1997): 9-10. Some modern studies refer mistakenly to "Antiochus Strategos," an "unfortunate hybrid [who] still stalks the literature on the seventh century" (Bowersock, "Polytheism and Monotheism," 9n33).
