  • GA, reads well, seems fine. The original hook seems best, whether or not the pic is used. AGF on that one. I can't see the statement that his father was a priest of Astarte in the article. The pic is good, with no problems. Earwig picks up nothing. GTG. Johnbod (talk) 06:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
