In your link it says ”Hadrian's connection to the name change and the reason behind it is disputed”. So I’m sure some theorizing is still warranted.

- yyyk 5y agoBoth cites following that sentence agree he's the likely suspect, and agree with the motivation. The difference is that the first is certain, while the second merely thinks the evidence points to Hadrian (though I wonder who else could have authority to change a province name quickly). Both agree with the motivation. It's a disagreement alright, but we should not overread it. 'Theorizing' that ignores well known data is suspect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_Palaestina#cite_note-F90-13 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_Palaestina#cite_note-F90... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_Palaestina#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJacobson200144-45-14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_Palaestina#cite_note-FOO...
