Talk:Petubastis III

Sources & references
This is clearly compiled from a variety of real sources. For instance, the 1970 edition of Vol 4 of the Cambridge Ancient History says "A native dynast named Petubastis may have tried to seize power at this point [when the Satrap Aryandes may have been expelled]. There is even a document dated to the first year of his 'reign' but he is a very shadowy figure." This is the source the 'dynast', 'shadowy figure' and 'document' bits of the article, but in the article an unknown document dated to the first year of his reign is stated to be dated to 522, which is synthesis/original research. Another interesting source is Egyptian-Type Documents from the Mediterranean Littoral of the Iberian Peninsula Before the Roman Conquest by J. Padro I Parcerisa  which suggests Kitchen may mention him. Jona Lendering's article at is another source (and is the source of the error about Inarus being crucified also )--Doug Weller (talk) 18:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have reverted all but the opening sentence pending references and citations. Sorry, but I don't know how else to get the message across -- the author has been repeatedly warned not to enter data without references.  Madman (talk) 01:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding references, Egyptzo. I have done some editing of those.  Please note that it is not good to add so many links. Madman (talk) 20:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It is better, but one of the references is which is a personal website. It looks pretty good, but I still think it probably doesn't qualify as a reliable source--Doug Weller (talk) 21:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
