 * There are to be 2 article, Marinos of Tyre and Marinus of Tyre . Marinos is likely to be the Greek Spelling and Marinus the Latin. Both have scholarly references to support them. Since the individual is neither Greek nor Roman but Syrian, I suggest we go with the most commonly used and mention both spellings in the article. The Google search for the 2 spellings as a full text string are as follows:-


 * "Marinos of Tyre" = 979
 * "Marinus of Tyre" = 3780


 * Note also that Britannica, both the modern version  and the 1911  use Marinus.
 * The Columbia Encyclopedia also uses Marinus.


 * I propose that Marinus of Tyre be the merged article. Lumos3 (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
