Thread: Why "Eutychus"?
Started 4 months, 3 weeks ago by The Señor-Rhetor
Dear SDSAB, I must know why the replier was listed as "Eutychus," since it is obvious that no one these days has that name. I am moderately familiar with the story in Saint Paul, but also with a story in the Latin textbook I teach from. I cannot deduce any connection to olives from either. And in case someone actually IS named Eutychus, please accept my simpering apologies.
