¹ DB: The mention of Agabus suggests that this is an example of the Bible itself as a potential direct source (Acts 11:28, et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus, significabat per Spiritum famem magnam futuram in uniuerso orbe terrarum, quæ facta est sub Claudio, ‘And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over the entire world, which happened under Claudius’: http://www.sacredbible.org/studybible/NT-05_Acts.htm#11 [accessed 17 April 2023]), rather than CM (ed. Mommsen, §285: Quarto Claudi anno fames grauissima, cuius Lucas meminit, facta est, ‘In Claudius’s fourth year the most dreadful famine occurred, which Luke recalled’).
