Disambiguation required for Anatolius the Platonist from Anatolius the Christian Bishop

[edit]

"The suggestion that Anatolius, Iamblichus' teacher, is to identified with the Christian Bishop Anatolius of Laodicaea ... is a conjecture regarded very skeptically indeed by several well qualified judges." p.262 Rowan Williams, "Arius: Heresy & Tradition" (Revised Ed 2002) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.231.23 (talk) 16:09, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a dispute among scholars, not a Wikipedia disambiguation concern.
This warrants a paragraph within this article.
The article Anatolius is Wikipedia's disambigution of several people named "Anatolius", but it does not list any other Anatolius who flourished in the 260s–270s. Nor should an article for Anatolius the Platonist be created that only says he was Iamblichus' teacher and was not Anatolius of Laodecia when that statement is disputed. — Joe Kress (talk) 18:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The quotation is noted as sourced from page 262 of Rowan Williams' latest Revised Edition of 2002. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.231.23 (talkcontribs) 08:38, 12 April 2011
