Talk:Magi

"note 2: Early Church Fathers, such as saints Jerome, Origen and Augustine, were apparently less concerned with PR than with honesty and consistency in translation and thus used "magician" or similar words when translating "Magi", including in Matthew, but hey, what did the Church Fathers know, eh?"

What? Those guys were writing in Koine Greek and Latin. Magi is the Latin term from the original μαγοι. What translation?--Nngnna (talk) 20:12, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
