Talk:Sosipater

Sosipater = Sopater ??
"He is probably the same person as Sopater mentioned in Acts 20:4." What is the source for this? Church tradition identifies him as Sosipater of Iconium whereas Sopater has a father from Berea. As mentioned in the WP page about Sopater, "some writers think the words 'the son of Pyrrhus' were added to distinguish Sopater from Sosipater". I am inclined towards the latter, pending further info. Douglasson (talk) 08:29, 27 August 2017 (UTC)


 * You may be right. But what matters here is what we can find in reliable sources. Our personal opinions don't really matter for Wikipedia's purposes. Alephb (talk) 21:02, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
