Thank you for your help Ld. William.
Your work definitely deserves Largess.
I am painting a picture of Judas and the Elephant.
I think the Catholic Bible calls them Greeks rather than Syrians, but I
am not sure. I think the information a 12th century person would have
was that Judas Maccabbeus was fighting Greeks. Would a 12th century put
the arms of the current Greek empire on a shield in an illustration? If
so do you know the arms of the Greek empire? Would a 12th century lady
know about the Moon Goddess?
