Peter Chen          The developer of the {Entity-Relationship model}.          (1995-02-07)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pathros       the name generally given to Upper Egypt (the Thebaid of the       Greeks), as distinguished from Matsor, or Lower Egypt (Isa.       11:11; Jer. 44:1, 15; Ezek. 30:14), the two forming Mizraim.       After the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, colonies       of Jews settled "in the country of Pathros" and other parts of       Egypt.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Peter, Second Epistle of       The question of the authenticity of this epistle has been much       discussed, but the weight of evidence is wholly in favour of its       claim to be the production of the apostle whose name it bears.       It appears to have been written shortly before the apostle's       death (1:14). This epistle contains eleven references to the Old       Testament. It also contains (3:15, 16) a remarkable reference to       Paul's epistles. Some think this reference is to 1 Thess.       4:13-5:11. A few years ago, among other documents, a parchment       fragment, called the "Gospel of Peter," was discovered in a       Christian tomb at Akhmim in Upper Egypt. Origen (obiit A.D.       254), Eusebius (obiit 340), and Jerome (obiit 420) refer to such       a work, and hence it has been concluded that it was probably       written about the middle of the second century. It professes to       give a history of our Lord's resurrection and ascension. While       differing in not a few particulars from the canonical Gospels,       the writer shows plainly that he was acquinted both with the       synoptics and with the Gospel of John. Though apocryphal, it is       of considerable value as showing that the main facts of the       history of our Lord were then widely known.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Potters field       the name given to the piece of ground which was afterwards       bought with the money that had been given to Judas. It was       called the "field of blood" (Matt. 27:7-10). Tradition places it       in the valley of Hinnom. (See {ACELDAMA}.)
