What is the date of its destruction?
editI have found a contradiction in the date and circumstances of the destruction of the original Aphrodite of Cnidus statue:
- the article Aphrodite of Cnidus says that it "was lost in a fire during the Nika riots" which took place in 532
- the article Palace of Lausus says - and cites two sources of this information - that the statue was destroyed by fire in 475.
Is there a source for the later date?

Cnidus or Knidos?
editWhy does the first sentence of the article call it Aphrodite of Knidos when Aphrodite of Knidos redirects to Aphrodite of Cnidus?
Pliny the Elder
editI found a source on Pliny's account of the sale of the statue to Knidos, so I'm just gonna add a citation and fix it up for tone issues and a couple of inaccuracies. The tutorials said I should write on the talk page when I'm changing stuff in articles. Joehen (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
General cleanup request
editThere is a lot of material repeated verbatim from one section to another within this article. This article requires reorganization to determine what information belongs where, and to remove repetition.--146.115.132.3 (talk) 19:04, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
