“At that time, the Romans sent Lucius Romanus to Syria with the task of informing Rome in writing of all the interesting events that were taking place there. Then he wrote: “Let your Majesty know that some illustrious Persians, led by heavenly glory, have entered your empire and have come to worship a child born in Judea. In addition, I will find out who this child is and whose son he is” he was told “Herod, who has been given the government of Judea by us, will inform us.” Michael the Syrian (12th century), Patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church.
