Is this the most outrageous statement in a book?

[D B Campbell]

I just find it difficult to understand why no historian or academic has seen fit to challenge the statement I posted, or have they?

The reviews that I read all concentrated on what a bang-up job Lenski did of describing the Life and Times of Valens.

Re. the DRB: Attempts to date undated sources often remain theoretical, academic, divorced from reality. I quite like the fact that Lenski has taken the most plausible theory for dating the DRB and inserted it into the reality of an historical narrative. There is no doubt that Cameron has made a successful case for the writing of the DRB during the reign of Valens, or (as he puts it) "(say) 367-9". It is interesting to see what happens when you apply that conclusion. (imho)
