QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Onegreatjoke: I like ALT2 the most, so I hope that's what will appear on the Main Page. Before I promote this hook, I'm going to need you to provide specific citations for the main hook and ALT1. Unlimitedlead (talk) 16:53, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

@Unlimitedlead: For alt0 it's citation 14 while alt1 is 30,34, and 50. I would also like to change alt0 to be alt3 "... that Shapur II invaded Armenia in response to Pap of Armenia's restoration as the king?"as the first hook is incorrect. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:36, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Approving. Unlimitedlead (talk) 22:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

@Unlimitedlead: I also hope ALT2 will be the one selected. Maybe I'm biased because it was the one I wrote, but I do believe that it would catch the most interest from readers with no prior knowledge of Pap. ALT0 seems to be more about Shapur, and ALT1 is technically incorrect because Traianus didn't personally murder Pap. Dallavid (talk) 00:41, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your imput. I'm approving only ALT0 and ALT2 then, with preference for the latter. Unlimitedlead (talk) 01:26, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
