Reattribute "Theodore Stratelates" → Theodore of Heraclea
The
Theodore Stratelatesfolder (52 fragments: Isaiah, Matthew, John) is misattributed.Theodore Stratelates (281–319) is a soldier-martyr of Heraclea Pontica — a hagiographic military saint who left no writings. The current
metadata.tomllinks his Wikipedia page and dates him 319.These fragments are actually the work of Theodore of Heraclea (bishop of Heraclea in Thrace, d. c. 355), a mid-4th-c. Greek exegete. Jerome (De viris illustribus 90) credits him with commentaries on Matthew, John, the Epistles, and the Psalter; catena fragments on Matthew, John, and Isaiah survive (the Isaiah ones via Vat. gr. 755). The fragment-numbering here ("Fragment 68", etc.) and the titles match how these are cited in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture series, which credits them to him. The mix-up is a known one — the martyr is sometimes also called "Theodore of Heraclea," which is almost certainly how the wrong man got linked.
This PR renames the folder and fixes the metadata:
