Date
[edit]Between AD 220 and 360 per Arwen Apps's Gaius Iulius Solinus and His Polyhistor. The date previously given from the Czechs (3rd century only) is not only wrong but doesn't match the dates given for his birth (4th century only) or his major work itself (4th century only) that we were previously using.
I can't get the system to allow me to put this source into the entry, however. Anyone who knows how is welcome to add it here and at the work's entry. Note also that 220 is the earliest date of the work, which allows that Solinus himself might've been born in the late 2nd century. LlywelynII (talk) 04:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- @LlywelynII: I can't access the link you provided. However false the information provided by the Czech library is, it was correctly sourced (and will be reimported by a bot anyway) and we ought to keep it, just as any sourced value. The refining of what is false, what may be true and which value(s) we'll ultimately show is to be determined by ranks. As the dates of Solinus have been argued back and forth, I'd expect we'll have several values. To only take an example, the OCD gives "around 300ce" as the date of its work. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 09:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
