medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: John Dillon <[log in to unmask]>
>> a thorough and learnéd response to a reasonably difficult inquiry from
another list member.
> But not an altogether accurate response. A synapse must have misfired when
I wrote:
>> and a human Lucifer the son of P[h]osporus is attested in
a Latin inscription from the city of Rome (_CIL_, VI. 8724).
> He's actually P[h]osphorus son of Lucifer. His gentilician Iulius coupled
with these names suggests an imperial freedman.
well, Jim and i and everyone else on the list saw that obvious error but were
just too polite to mention it.
