By boat Caesarea to Carthage in one day?
100-200 kms per hour wind perhaps?

On board was a Jew, Ananias,
who blasphemed (sotto voice, it seems)
and said:

May Adonai
recompense thee,
and the Christ
on whom thou callest,
who is become dust
and lies in Jerusalem,
while thou livest and leadest
ignorant men astray
by his name.

A wind came and filled the sail.

Great stuff for the box office

An added fact about Philip

So, the true history was there to be seen all the time
but we were blind to it.

Ah, he's back, spouting more thoughtless, illogical nonsense.

I"m so glad Larry did not mean me, but Pete.

I would really like to get some feedback from some
professional ancient historians as to what I brought
forward (3 links).

Is it too much for me to ask for that people read my links?
