To improve this page[edit]

I believe that this page could be considerably improved. There is a fair amount of ancient source material relating to Timesitheus which is hardly touched upon in the present text. Furthermore, it is hard to see how any WP discussion of this man can avoid mentioning the article on him by Pflaum in Les carrieres procuratoriennes ... C 317, p 811, Paris 1960-61. Furthermore, the family-tree at the end is subject to no analysis and presently serves little purpose. I propose to attempt a complete redo of the article.

Request for comments[edit]

I have now completed the re-write of this article. I should be grateful for comments on the new text. Pjbjas (talk) 15:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not looking in the talk page before I edited. I changed a lot of section headings to more neutral ("encyclopedic") wording, but another rewrite of the text would help a lot. Thanks. PrehistoricWalker (talk) 14:06, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
