exploration

The Carthage article refers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage#Second_Sicilian_War) to a Mago Barca who undertook a journey of exploration through the Sahara desert. Is this the same person or an earlier relative? The context in the Carthage article seems to suggest he lived in the 7th-5th century BC. Dysmorodrepanis 13:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This Mago lived a couple of hundred years after that, so they probably aren't the same person; and as Mago is a given name, and Barca a soubriquet, they probably aren't related, either. Moonraker12 (talk) 13:48, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

possible contradiction

It seems improbable that Mago could have died in 203 BC and also have left Italy with his army in 202 BC. I don't know which is right, only that it seems impossible for both to be right. Tupelo the typo fixer (talk) 13:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mago, the name MGN

The source given for the meaning of the name [Latin Magō, Magonis] is a Web site with no linguistic validity. MGN מגן as a Semitic root means "to cover, protect" and the word מָגֶּן (māgen) means shield. I suggest that the etymology be changed to show this source. Any complete Hebrew dictionary confirms this, and it is testified to the oldest Hebrew Bible texts. ~ d. pablo stanfield h.; Seattle USA, whose login will not work any more. pablo.paz.sea at gmail doty com 24.19.232.7 (talk) 11:03, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
