I am unsure of which part of the article is incorrect, but it does contradict itself, placing Paul's speech at both this Antioch (Antioch-on-the-Orontes) and a different place called Antioch (Pisidian Antioch).
Statement 1:
Antioch occupies an important place in the history of Christianity. It was here that Paul preached his first Christian sermon in a synagogue, and here that followers of Jesus were first called Christians (Acts 11:26).
Statement 2:
Many other cities within the Seleucid empire were also named Antioch, most of them founded by Seleucus I Nicator. For instance Pisidian Antioch in Central-West Turkey is where Saint Paul gave his first sermon to the Gentiles.
Or perhaps Paul's "first Christian sermon" is not the same as Paul's "first sermon to the Gentiles"? It would help if this matter could be clarified. --Tabor 18:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
humm, why would gentiles be in a synagogue? ~~
I would assume that this is definitely contradictory. The Bible itself provides no answers - it just refers to "Antioch." johnk 19:38, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Did you read your source? Judging from the sentence you added, you did not.
"The city's male population reached 6000 men for a century."
What is that supposed to mean? Considering where you placed your poorly worded sentence, right after this sentence;
"During the late Hellenistic period and Early Roman period, Antioch's population reached its peak of over 500,000 inhabitants (estimates vary from 400,000 to 600,000) and was the third largest city in the world after Rome and Alexandria."
So your illegible sentence is trying to say there were only 6000 men in the third largest city in the world, that comprised 500,000 people?
Your information is taken from a paragraph relating to which century in particular? Do you know? Can you even understand when? Judging from the way your sentence is written and where you placed it, you clearly have no idea what time period, Christian Antioch: A Study of Early Christian Thought in the East, page 1, is mentioning.
Is this clear enough? A similar issue with your edit to Safavid dynasty; you changed their final regnal year, made no attempt to read the article, and clearly do not understand there were two Safavid Shahs after that date(1722). I question your ability to read and comprehend English. You should not be editing English Wikipedia. --Kansas Bear (talk) 19:10, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Evangelized, among others, by Peter himself, according to the tradition upon which the Patriarch of Antioch still rests its claim for primacy, and later (according to the Acts of the Apostles) by Barnabas and Paul."
In the top section where it says Cultures:
Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, Armenian etc... how is Hellenistic different from the Greek culture? Hellenic is what modern archaeologists have called a period within the GREEK history. Hellenistic should be removed from that part.. Onoufrios d (talk) 22:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See the article on the Hellenistic period. A much different culture, because "Hellenistic culture thus represents a fusion of the ancient Greek world with that of Western Asian, Northeastern African, and Southwestern Asian." Dimadick (talk) 06:11, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
