It’s a very brief summary. Rather than complaining you would do better to elaborate and and educate.
From the encyclopaedia Britanica it says:
> magus, plural Magi, member of an ancient Persian clan specializing in cultic activities. The name is the Latinized form of magoi (e.g., in Herodotus 1:101), the ancient Greek transliteration of the Iranian original. From it the word magic is derived.

But I’d love to hear more.
- ImpressiveWebs 4y agoThe Biblical “magi” are not the same as the “Persian clan” referenced in your source. The Biblical word is simply a generic term for “astrologers” or “magicians” but which is rooted in the Persian meaning. In fact, the singular “magus” is used in reference to a Jew who practiced some form of magic in Acts 13:6-8.
