Correcting Timeline Contradictions

[edit]

This article previously included without critique the claims made in the referenced hagiography that:

  1. Anastasia arrived at Scetis after the death of Theodora in 548;
  2. She dwelt in seclusion for twenty-eight years; and
  3. She died in 567.

This obviously creates a contradictory timeline. Anastasia's article in the Coptic Encyclopedia, included under the external links, gave her date of death as 576, which corrects this contradiction. It seems clear to me that the referenced hagiography simply transposed the two numbers, and I have thus corrected this error on the main page, referencing the linked Coptic Encyclopedia article. 76.10.184.83 (talk) 00:21, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
