This and the previous edit were just removing accents from letters in the Cyrenius section, and replacing the copied/pasted Greek by α etc. In case portability is improved.

===Quirinius or Cyrenius?===
At [[Luke 2:2]] the governor is named as Cyrenius in the Authorised Version (KJV) and as Quirinius in many modern translations.
There is no contradiction in the Bible text in ancient Greek. That certainly reads Κυρηνιου. That word has [[Bible words and their meaning—Strong's Numbers|Strong's number]] 2958, which Strong transliterates as Kurenios.
The German Luther Bible and, later, the KJV change Kurenios into letters which existed in the Latin alphabet. Although that alphabet is similar to ours, it does not, for example, contain the letter K, so that was replaced by C. The ending -os is replaced by -us, which would be appropriate for a Roman man. Hence Cyrenius. In the German language, an obvious pronunciation of the word Cyrenius is Ku-rain-ius, which sounds similar to Kurenios.
Modern versions use information from elsewhere that there was a Roman called P Sulpicius Quirinius. The translators or paraphrasers replace the word used by Luke by the word Quirinius. There is no Q in Greek, so the name Quirinius, written in Greek, would have to start with the Greek letter K.
