Talk:Abgar VIII

please state relation to Abgar V

This article is too short to understand if this statement makes earlier interest in Christianity of Abgar V of Edessa an unbased legend or is it the legend that actually grew from Abgar VIII conversion? Tar-ba-gan (talk) 22:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Revert

I am not sure why author from anonymous IP, involved in reverting in Armenia-related articles, is reverting this article removing sourced quote, but in any case -- I invite him to discuss the references and achieve consensus before just reverting sourced information. Atabek (talk) 02:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC) as i understand wiki rules, exceptional claim require exceptional source and volume. all books i looked at on this topic point to armenia, and that conversion of this king is legend, thus speculation and unreliable information is removed by my personality

Abgar bar Ma'nu

I added the alternate name Abgar bar Ma'nu because I saw it in some texts, which I cited in the article. However, most of these texts are old, and I wonder if this is actually a mistake confusing Abgar VIII with Abgar VII. I haven't looked at any source documents.

Confusion Abgar VIII and Abgar IX

If we look at the List of rulers of Parthian sub-kingdoms# Kings of Osrhoene 132 BC–c. 293 AD or Osroene#Rulers there must be an error (Peluba (talk) 08:50, 6 February 2018 (UTC))

Confusion between the various Abgars is a constant problem that plagues everything written in modern times (and probably some in ancient times) about Edessa. I've tried to clean some of it up here: the Abgar who our sources talk about converting was in the first century, it was not this Abgar. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 04:24, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
