I recently saw an historian argue that the author of Acts got some historical facts wrong,
(a) because of ...giving a title that did not exist that of the Roman officer mentioned.
and
(b) having a member of the highest social and economic class in Rome purchase his citizenship.
Does the Aramaic shed any light on this?
What is the precise title given to the Roman officer?
The thread can be found here.
