In its absence, the wise course is to consider the simplest solution, namely that Thomas the Elder and Thomas the Baptist are one and the same. I'm wondering if any tombstone (with inscription) for the Baptist Thomas survives in Ira. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
